Any SAHMoM's who babysit during work day for others?

LucyRicardo3 · February 2013

I'm just curious what is a typical amount to charge per child (hourly) to keep them in my home, during typical weekday"office" hours, limiting it to 2 kids

I'd like to be able to add some extra income back into our family's budget, so I was thinking about starting to keep 1-2 others (younger babies up to the same ages as mine) in my home during the work week for all day or even half days. I don't think I could manage more children than that. I would also consider after-preschool age carpool/sitter for just the afternoon 'til early evening hours.

I don't have any potential customers, yet, but we are new here so that can change.

FWIW, I'm in the North Atlanta area. Thanks!

I can tell you what I would pay $15 an hour/$500 week as I was looking for nannies. I'm a teacher and the women in my town take teachers kids only for $40 for school day 1 child and $75 for 2.

I do but I am in Canada and I charge him(single father) ridiculously cheap rates due to several circumstances. Sorry I could not help!

My licensed inhome daycare charges a flat weekly rate. I'm not sure what the part time rate is, but the full time rate is 165.

I pay our child care provider 15 a child per day. She keeps the babies in her home. When my big kids need to go, it is an additional 10 a day. I provide all meals and snacks for the bigs, and of course the BM for the babies.
