Nanny/Babysitter cost

Hello ladies!! Hope everyone is doing OK! I am having a good friend watch Avery when I go back to work on Mon-Wed from 8-330. I asked her to come up with a price however she is unsure and asked me. I am trying to think how much per day I would pay for her but I am not sure what the "norm" would be. Just wanted to see if any of you ladies can shed some light on this. I tried looking up local child care centers and nanny's just to get an estimate however they don't list prices online.

Thanks Ladies :)

Here's some lovin'; from Avery to all of you :)

    The price could vary greatly depending on what area of the country you live in. Have you checked care.com or sitter city to get idea of prices in your area?

    This will vary greatly by location. Around here infant in home care is 125-150 a week and centers are about 175-225. I agree with pp about checking care.com for local rates.

    Average where I live is between $40 and $60 per day, depending on whether you go with at-home care or a daycare centre (at-home is usually cheaper). It seems to vary a LOT based on where you live!

    We have (hopefully finalized next Saturday) found a nanny for our 3 kids. It happens to be a distant relative which is nice that we know her.

    We live in a smaller town outside the cities in Minnesota and are paying her $315/week for about 45 hrs/week give or take a few hrs here and there. It averages out to about $7/hr. We also are giving her 3 sick days to use.

    It costs us at least $325/week to send 2 of our kids to the center daycare so this is saving us a ton of money now that we have 3.

    Either sittercity or care.com has a calculator you can use which factors in your zip code to tell you an average rate.

    I live in Syracuse, and because I didn't have my sitter watch ds all week, I paid a daily rate- $35 for 6-7 hours/day. I know my friend in Buffalo pays her sitter $5 per hour per child. ( sitter comes to her home). When we looked at home care for infants for ds we were quoted anywhere from $125-175- but that was for M-F, 7 am-4;30 pm.
