What is a reasonable price to pay for nanny care/day care in the SF bay area?
I am returning to work at the beginning of May and looking for day care/nanny care for a 5 month old infant for 2-4 days per week from 7:30-5pm. I am interested in the areas between Redwood City and Palo Alto, CA. What do day cares & nannies typically charge around this area?

When my son was a baby (beginning of 2003) I lived in Vacaville and most places were $60 a day for an infant. Not sure if it’s gone up since then.

We paid $250.00/week when my son was in daycare. I’d call around and get prices. Then go visit the daycares/nannies and see what is best.
Well they are two different things-Daycare-where your baby will be cared for as well as many other babies/children. A nanny will only care for your baby in YOUR home-and therefore would be more expensive. I live in Toronto, Canada which is also a big city so here you should expect anything between $10-$12-P/H for a Nanny. As for daycare it varies greatly. It depends whether it’s a Home daycare or a Daycare centre.
Good Luck!-I hope I helped!
