for those of you who have or have had your kids in childcare, what do you pay? Specifically in-home child care.

I'm watching my sister-in-law's 7 year old daughter this summer from 6am-3:30pm Monday-Friday and am looking for a ballpark average.

I know I'm techincally an unlicensed provider, I'm just wondering what the average person pays because I have no idea.

Probably about $350-400 a month for in-home childcare at that age. Infants and toddlers usually cost more because they lower the ratio of kids the provider can care for.

I used to pay $120 a week for my son when he was in an in home daycare. At a regular daycare facility I paid $130

okay, I guess that's about right then. She's paying me $100 a month and apparently that's what she's paying the lady who currently watches her but I didn't know if that was like average for after school daycare and not all day, or what. Seemed a little low to me since it averages out to about $2 an hour, but I guess if you're watching 14 kids like her current provider is, it adds up.

A family friend watches my son for $2.50 an hour, but that is really cheap. The average in-home provider I found charges around $25 a day. The daycare centers seemed to be a lot more, charging $650/month.

I can't believe how expensive child care is! I'm so glad my Mom doesn't work and will be watching my son! I have to drive himto her house, which is about 15 miles from my house. I know gas is expensive and I drive a Trail Blazer, but I'd rather pay for the gas and have someone I know watch him.

When I watched my "friends" kid I charged $100 a week. This did not include dinner or "outside activities". If he was eating dinner with us it was an extra $5 a day and it had to be paid as soon as she picked him up. I only did this because she had a habit of dropping him off at 6 am and not getting here until 7 or 8 at night and not calling me to let me know what was going on (she got off between 4 and 4:30). If the kids wanted to go to a movie or something like that, I talked to her about what they wanted to do and if she permitted him to do it, she had to go ahead and pay for his part. If he wasn't allowed to do it she wouldn't bring him over that day.
