Anyone have in-home child care?

For now my sister in law will be watching my son at her house but she is planning on trying for baby #2 and she got pretty sick with my nephew so I'm not sure she'll be up for it in the long run. 

Do any of you have a caretaker/nanny come to your home daily?  How much do you pay?  Or if you take your child to another person's home, how much do you pay and how many other kids do they take care of?

I am a nanny and although I just finished working for good (or until I feel I can watch other children in my home) I can tell you that someone that comes to your home is considered a nanny. Nannies cost more than daycare. With one child I would charge 9-10 an hour. I can't tell you what a daycare would cost though. Care.com is where I was hired. You can request background checks. Good luck!

Someone coming to your home will cost more than day care or a home care provider. Depending on how often you'd need care, I'd say a full time nanny would be $200-$300 a week. I could be totally off, but that's what I've noticed online.  

I just recently decided to think about watching a child in my home. I just registered for care.com and sittercity.com last night. If you'd like, I can PM you my information and we can talk about care for your son.
