In provider's home child care

catmw21

What is the going rate for a private in (provider's) home care for a 6-8 week old infant? what about an older infant? What would you expect to pay a family member such as your sister ?

Let's say 40 hrs per week?

We live outside a small-mid size city with a relatively low cost of living?

Note: It would be their LO and my LO only.

We pay $100 a week and she keeps 6 kids.  Low cost of living here.

 ETA: This is regardless of age.

I pay $42.50 per day for an infant, $36.00 per day for over 1 year old in a home based daycare.

We live in the suburbs of Chicago. ?Our lady charges $5.50 per hour, regardless of age. ?My cousin's lady charges her $5.00 per hour, also regardless of age.

?I have a coworker who sends her son to her sister-in-laws and I think she pays $4.75 per hour, which she thinks is a little high for family but she has not other options.

We paid $150 a week for infant (under 18 months).  We supplied bottles and breastmilk, diapers.

And $125 a week now (over 18 months).  She supplies all food and drinks.  we just provide diapers

We're not far from you and back when I was working, we paid the woman who watched Ben (4 days/week) $65/day (under the table).  She started watching Ben when he was 3 months old and after 6 months, had to go back to work because her DH had been laid off and they needed more money.  I then had my sister watching him 2 days a week and we paid her the same.

Holy hell!  What suburb are you in?!  Mine charges $8/hr for infants.  Not sure about older kids yet.  I'm in Elk Grove.

We live in St. Charles and the sitters live in South Elgin. ?My sitter is great, so I would pay more if I had too, but I'm glad I don't.
