I was picking up Grayson from the nanny/childcare person and had to leave a check for that week. I handed over the check and wondered if we pay too much for someone to watch Grayson. He was still in her arms sucking on his fist and smiling. She started making funny sounds talking to him and he got all excited. It was so nice to see the way they interacted. She genuinely cared for him and it was obvious in her face.

Do we pay her too much? Not a chance. We pay her what we can being that I am out of work. The truth is I’d pay her 10 times as much to take care of Grayson. He’s a very important part of my life and in her hands for a few hours a day. There isn’t a price for that. Instead of worrying about how much you pay for childcare, spend a moment just being grateful that someone is watching over your treasure while you work or go about your day.

The ideal situation would be that we were financially set and was able to take care of him ourselves but that’s a long way off.
