I know there could be more variables to consider. I am looking for an amount to charge a first time mom who is also a good friend of my brother's.....That said,we live in Jefferson (north of Buford), there are a few day care centers to choose from and I'm sure she's gotten a few other offers as well. I really need to 'sell myself to her'. I've been a former nanny,have references to provide,have my 2.5 year old DD (which the other mom prefers) and we live 5 minutes apart! I was thinking along the lines of asking $120/week for her 8 week old (she will provide dipes/milk) and I informed her she wouldn't need to bring other necesarry baby gear as I have them all. The hours will be longish (6:45a - 4p) but I need the money and really don't mind so I feel as though it would be a steal of a deal for the mom to be.... Should I be asking for more and have $120 be the low end of what I would settle for?! TIA!!! ;)

    I'd say that's pretty close to the right range.  I pay $150/week for my 11 month old and I live in Cumming.  I provide diapers, wipes, food, etc.  He is one of two babies she watches.  Hours are pretty much the same as what you posted.  I have coworkers who pay slightly less for in home care but it really depends on the area of town.

    I did quite a bit of research on this, and this seems very reasonable (and in the proper range) to me.  It seemed as though the "higher end" for in home DC in the NW suburbs was about $150/week.
