Costs for in-home daycare?

DavezWifeDavezWife member

I'm considering watching another child my own daughter's age, 2-3 days a week. 8-5pm. They provide diapers/wipes. (me, food/drinks)

Any idea what I should charge?

They are currently paying almost $90 a day at a center, I'm thinking of putting my price at $50 a day. Not sure if that's too little or too much?

Thanks. (ps - we're west metro if that matters)

    We pay $170/week or $39/day.  Three or more days per week equals a full week.  DD is in daycare in Woodbury.  We bring diapers, wipes, baby food (pureed) and formula.

    We pay $35 per day (DD only goes two days per week).  Licensed in home daycare, 1 other infant, formula is provided, we provide diapers and wipes.  Cost would be $130 for the whole week.  This is in Cottage Grove.

    Things I did different with this pregnancy:
    1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
    2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
    3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
    4. Daily lovenox injections

    We will be paying $150 a week for full time, that includes food and diapers. The food is only people food, we will supply formula, and baby food.

    $50 sound like a lot. We paid $30 a day for our oldest son when he was a toddler; we provided his diapers. The daycare provider got wipes, food, milk, and actually taught him stuff instead of just sitting him in front of TV all day, which was great. She had about 6 other kids, her whole basement of her house was converted to a daycare and was beautiful!
