Right, but you probably don't need childcare.

Have a kid in California and you can look forward to paying $17000/year for infant care [1]. With California's median per-capita income of $41000/year [2] having two kids is an expensive business!

Seattle is 24000-30k a year for infant care.

17,000 would be very, very, cheap.
