how the heck do people afford daycare for their kids? all the places we've looked are half of my…

See if your eligible for title 20

some people receive childcare assistance

I hear you. Daycare for my 11 week old is $125 a week so $500 a month. Definitely stressful but we figure it out 😔

And that's for 3 days a week. Not even full time

we are in the same situation, we can not afford daycare so we have chosen to work opposite shifts. no we won't see each other alot but we won't be in a financial hole.

we use a private in home sitter

We had to work opposite shifts. It killed us but we did it.

Our sons preschool is 250 a month though and that's 2 1/2 hours 3 days a week.

wow I'm seeing all these prices are hella cheaper than what I pay. I pay 439 weekly ( 5days) drop off 6:30 -4:30 😞😭

Everything in MD is expensive 🙄 @6thahardway sigh

I was about to say the same @6thahardway @rainbow0601 these prices are so cheap compared to what I paid 6 years ago for my son lol. But everything here is so expensive for no reason lol smh

@cayandjaymomof2, it sucks but shit I'm glad I'm not the only one in MD paying that much

That's why I'm going to work from home. Daycare anywhere is crazy expensive.

I worked in childcare all my life. I am actually going back (I was a nanny) just so we can afford childcare. Also we have my husbands mom taking her for 2 days. So out of $210 we are paying $110 since I am going to be working there.

My BF and I work overnights so that our parents can watch the baby. We can't afford day care at all😐

I was paying 400 plus a week but got title 20 I pay 48 a week now

@6thahardway, @rainbow0601 MD is insane. We pay $840 a month for our daughter's pre k and we aRe still looking for care for our son, but infant care is so expensive!!!!!! Like a grand a month for real!
