Cost of Child/Day Care in NYC??? January 01, 2007 12:47AM |

Hello All,
My wife and I are planning to move to NYC in 3 months and we want to get an idea of what the cost of day/child care will be. We plan to live in Manhattan probably in the UWS or UES area and our child will be around 6 months when we move. I would also like to know if it's commonplace for companies to offer their own onsite day care service.
THANKS!

I am not sure where the $200 range came from but that is wildly underestimating. Our kids are in school now but when they were younger and in daycare (4 years ago) it was around $1500 per month. Private nannies will be at least $500 per week for full time. We by no means used a fancy or expensive day care. It was killer. No companies I know have in-house but I mostly know the media industry. It sounds reasonable that some larger companies would. The goods news is that having an infant in NYC is easier and better than you would imagine. Lots of great cool parents around, lots of parks, lots of restaurant choices with kids. I don't know any day cares up town but we liked ours, called Buckle My Shoe in Greenwich Village.

Bridget is right above when she says that $200 is wildly underestimating the cost. I am calling Childcare centers in Queens at this very moment (on 12/16/08) and the average in Queens, not Manhattan, is about $250-$300 a month. I haven't found a single place under $250 for full time. OUCH!
If you want a reliable, adult babysitter (not a friend or a relative) the going rate is about $15 an hour.
You can easily (in many cases) up the price significantly in Manhattan, particularly in certain areas like the UWS and UES. Moreover, just finding a place with availability is a problem.
Good luck to me and you!
