as did the Google recruiters and HR people I spoke to before accepting the job :)
Another comment in here says it could be up to 4-5k/mo. Idk about googler parents but thats pretty much an entire 2 week net-income paycheck to me.. IIRC my friends with kids pay something like 2-3k/mo I think for their daycare but I'm in CO not CA.
we pay 2k/month here in chicago, so that number kind of makes sense to me.
