would you look at the long game? I work for Civil Service and intend to return after Easter for a 3 day week. I have been investigating the childcare options and would love a nanny as it would be far less stressful. I worked FT with DS and used nursery. DS is at school and we have no family support for holidays. DD could go to nursery but I thought a nanny may be the most sensible option. Trouble is it would leve me with a tiny amount clear each month.
Is it worth it? DP and I are inclined to think yes cos my Job is very secure, well paid, has great pension and most importantly I am trained for nothing else. We figure that for 2/3 years of eff all money I woul have retained my job. DD would also get one on one care.
What is the least amount of money you would allow yourself to clear after paying childcare so you could be sure of a job in the future?
