Looks like we're going to be paying $225 a week for daycare. That's more than our rent 👀

@mrs.medrano, that is crazy!!

I was working for a preschool/ nursery and the baby room charges $2500 monthly

yeah I do my own taxes so I pay no one but I know how that is

yes! @supermommy31082 @gcpaschal places like my mom usually charge more if ppl claim it on taxes. The ppl my mom works for choose not to so it's cheaper up front.

yeah that's the one perk is doing your taxes at least ya get a credit back

@81516mommy2be, @supermommy31082 you all are blessed. I get sick to my stomach knowing we're going to pay at least $800 a month for daycare. I was told we get $6000 of that back when we do our taxes. @michellevaldez4750

All those big places like kinder care are crazy!

That's really nice :) that's what my mom does, in her home. It was a lot more homey for the kids than a center but then again it's not as structured and educational I guess. my mom does try to be a teacher in a way but she's got all different ages so it's harder.

@michellevaldez4750, omg when I called kinder care for their price my mouth was wide open. I said for $275 a week she needs to stay there and only come home on weekends. That's room & board.

@michellevaldez4750, I just found a licensed home daycare close to me for $200.

good lord yeah I'm thankful my moms here she's gonna watch my baby when I go back but for one baby where I was gonna take my son was gonna be 2 something cause infants are higher

I get to stay home with my baby, because I watch other children.

The messed up thing is that's about average. I think my mom charges 185 for one child full time and she's super cheap! kinder care is stupid expensive!
