re: how much do yoy pay your baby sitter?

Quoting rissarue:" I run my own childcare in my house and I charge $17 a day for up to 8 hours after that it is $4 more ... [snip!] ... hours. I think paying anything over $25 is crazy!!! Here where I live if I said I charged $20 a day people look at me weird lol"

Daycares around here charge anywhere from 180-200 and centers are 200-250 a week

<blockquote><b>Quoting momma melissa85:</b>" And does the sitter come to your home or theirs? Do they watch other kids or their own kid/kids? How ... [snip!] ... and pay where you live? Cost of living is cheap here but average pay is $8 an hour and average rents is $650 for a 2 br apt"</blockquote>
