childcare costs?

don'tcallmejenny

Hi all!  I'm a first-time mom, not due til December.  My husband & I are trying to run the numbers to see if it will be worth it for me to go back to work after the baby is born--we don't want my entire paycheck to go toward childcare.  Obviously, costs will vary based on location, facility vs. in-home care, etc.  I'm just wondering if those of you who have little ones in daycare or with caregivers could give me a little insight into what kind of prices we're looking at in NJ.

 

Thanks!
