Childcare rates

kenzosfriend · April 2011

I am looking at having someone come into my home two days a week or bringing the baby to someone's home. Does anyone know the going rate to charge for having someone keep my child in these situations? It would be a 41/2 month old. The hours would be from 6:45-4:45.

Thanks!

I pay $12 an hour.

It can really vary. When we were looking for an in home place to take DS we saw everything from $145-$200/week. And having someone come into your home can vary as well depending on their experience and what they and you are looking for.

It does vary. My nanny is paid $10/hour, but she was fairly inexperienced when she started, I have just one infant, and I drive her home in the evenings. Another person who babysits for me gets $12. Her travel expense is more since the babysitting is for a shorter duration. My sister's nanny had years of experience actually managing a daycare center before she became a full time nanny, and she also has tons of early childhood classes. She charges $16/hour.
