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.

See and I definitely couldn't pay my bills on that. That would be.. what...a little over $3 an hour. I would have to politely decline that offer. I think I would need at least minimum wage (which I think is $7.25?) to consider it.
