I paid $75 per week for 3 days so about $25 per day but the woman I used also had another child to care for. Her own kids were in school so it allows her to be home with them during vacations etc. $10 an hour for a 40 hour week would be $400 a week. I personally think that seems like alot. Especially when so many people are making not much more than $10 and by the time taxes are taken out... But I guess it depends on what they do and how much child care is in your area. Maybe check out the newspaper and see what the going rate is. I know when I was looking I called several daycares and that's how I came up with the $75 or $25/day. |
