    Anyone use a nanny here?

    I am looking into getting a nanny full time 8-5:30 every weekday what do you think that would run me in minnesota?

    Are you talking fully legal with paperwork or "informal" ?

    My director pays his full time nanny $40 Gs w/ benefits.... but that's in Park City, UT. Either way, it won't be cheap unless you go the 'informal' way.

    so paying cash you would be looking at around $576.92 a week? thats 40k 25% tax bracket leads to 30k cash/52 weeks a year is 576.92 a week? Thats not bad at all! Wonder if she will clean the house and cook dinner? I could get rid of the wife if that were the case and save money!

    I was gonna say.......the best ladyfriend I currently know is a nanny and I use her for many things.....none of which cost me any cash.

    Get an Au Pair. They are younger and better looking....

    Sorry, my mind was in the GC again!

    I looked at a live in nanny in WI last year. I found it unaffordable....

    you might want to look very close at the $$$$ figure. also add the cost of someone else raising your kid. you might not make out in the long run if you or your sig. other work instead of staying home with the youn-in.

    here is the thing....what is the price tag you would put on someone taking care of your most prized possesion???

    this of course is depending on your situation. i assusme you are not a single dad living alone.
