Babysitting Prices

I also posted on the WM board. I'm going back to work on 9/11. DS will be 2 1/2 months old. My mom will be babysitting him 3 days a week from 9:15-6:30 sometimes 7:30. I told her I'd pay her for those 3 days. How much do you think is a reasonable amount? TIA!

    My cousin is watching my LO (she has an in home daycare). She has her Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:20 to 5:25 and she charges me $90. I'm not sure what she charges someone who isn't family but from what I heard, I got a pretty good deal!!

    Is this rate weekly?

    It all depends on where you live and the cost of living for sure. The in home daycare we are going to is only $25 a day. But I live in a small town with 600 people in the Midwest.

    Since its your mom, I also imagine she wouldn't take as much as a daycare..

    This is almost exactly me! Ours is $20 a day. I know my relatives wouldn't ask for money though so I might even take them up on it. They get bonding time, you get a financial break!

    In-home daycare around here is $30-35/day for an infant.  Our one-on-one daycare provider charges $4/hour. 

    This $150/day business is CRAZY!

    At my old job it was like 200/week or higher for a newborn. And they were wait listed!

    I used to work at a daycare and they charged $250 a week for an infant. This was in a suburban setting.

    I paid $165 a week for one of the nicest daycares in the area when DD #1 was an infant.  She went M-F from 7:30 to 5:15 or so, but they were open 6:30-6.  We live in a LCOL area.

    Wow! These prices are nuts! I paid $25/day for in home. That was with DS 1. For now, I'm staying home with both DS 1 and 2.
