Child Care in Los Angeles

Child Care is expensive in Los Angeles area. I remember a working parent friend of mine sent her 2 children to child care near her work place which cost her about $900 plus per child for 5 days a week. She still has to take care of her own children on the weekend.

It is difficult at times if the parents want to go out by themselves for a date again. Reliable baby sitting is not easy to find. If you found, probably cost $20 per hour. A night out for dinner and a movie may cost you $60-$80 plus tips.

If you can afford it, it will be better off by employing an Au Pair Live-in Childcare | AuPairCare. It only cost $300/week for 45 hours of live-in child care for the whole family. It may be cheaper than sending two or more children to the child care center. An Au Pair is a young adult from outside USA whom will work for 45 hours a week including child care and child care related light house keeping, in exchange for an opportunity to live with an American family.

At AuPairCare, they carefully screen each experienced applicant. Families can select Au Pairs based on nationality, language, age, driving skill, gender and more. Families can easily compare profiles of Au Pairs on their website. So if you are considering finding a nanny for your children, check out AuPairCare first. The total cost may be lower than hiring a live-in nanny.
