LadySmith08 · October 2010

A freiend of mine has asked me to watch her dd next week while her sitter is out. Just wondering what the going rate is?

We pay $208/week.

Lotzodotz · October 2010

My DD only goes 2 days and it's $55 a day, if she went all 5 days it would be $249.

Doesn't it depend on your geographic area, the type of day care (in-home, nanny, center, church, etc.)?

We go to a large-ish center and pay $195/week including two meals and two snacks. I'm in West Michigan.

Def. depends on the area. We go to an in-home daycare and pay $35/day and she only goes PT.

We really lucked out that my friend happens to have a daycare in her home. She only charges $5/hour or $25/day, whichever is cheapest. We just supply diapers & wipes and send in a snack for everyone to share like once a month.

ETA: I'm in NE Ohio.

Totally depends on where you live. We pay $16 for 5 hour or less and $26 for a full day.

$155/wk for my 21 month old and $135/wk for my 3 year old. It is cheaper since my older son is potty trained.
