7000 should be amortized over 4 years..:)
To be honest, don't know what to suggest.. I wouldn’t go the way jjh is suggesting.... puting the ads in the grocery stores to get a nanny for your kids isn't the best way to hire a good companion for them..
6000 is a high price.. on the other hand if you go through the agency, it won't be much cheaper.. You just have to come to conclusion that having a nanny isn't cheap.. and pay the fee...
