got a question ladies: i have a job right now at a daycare my child has free day care and i get paid 10 an hour

I would keep your current job daycare is expensive keep getting it for free if u can

not 800 hundredth a week day care would be 800 hundredth a month. @cookiemonster1216

i dont get holiday pay or vacation pay or sick days or health insurance nothing @cookiemonster1216 ohhh haha no not 800 hundredth a month i think weekly its 225 or 180 a week i dont remember what the paper said. well weekly i fill up about 30 dollars in my car 120 a month in gas about the same drive to the nanny job. wow yeah i cant afford 1200 a month for daycare. my husband has a pretty good job and insurance and everything.

@ainsleighsmumma i honestly not caring about the taxes right now!

Ohhh! I thought you meant $800 a week! That's for a month. LOL ok. That makes more sense. Where I am day care is roughly $300 a week, so around $1200 a month... so I'm so grateful my MIL watches my dd LOL. But also consider any benefits you'll have with a new job vs what you have currently. A friend of mine works at a daycare and has insurance, paid vacation, sick days, etc. A parent probably wouldn't have those benefits (idk if you currently do, but I'm just going off of estimates.) And calculate gas difference.

@mommytoveralang, but you wouldn't actually be making that much because of tax deductions, a higher tax bracket means more deductions.

@ainsleighsmumma, yeah like 1800 hundredth dollars more i would be making.

okay so right now i work 40 hours a week 10 dollars an hour. less then 400 hundredth a week. roughly 1200 hundredth a month and free child care

with the new job i would make 2800 hundredth a month and 800 hundredth for childcare so im still makeing 2000 after paying child care i would work 45+ hours a week i wouldn't work weekends or Tuesday @cookiemonster1216

@mandabug iam not aloud in my daughters classroom the company dosent think its fair to the children.

Honestly, you wouldn't make enough to cover the childcare and come out ahead. $10(8x6) = $480. (I calculated $10 extra dollars per hour (8hrs), then multiply that by six days a week.) That's roughly how much more you'd make a week. And you would be put in a higher tax bracket, which means you'd get more deducted out of your check. Personally, I'd stick with the free child care. it makes more sense to me.

I would do the math and see what will get you more in the long run. If you're spending that much on child care would you really be making all that much more than you are now?

yeah when you think about it in the long run it all evens out but I would go with the free child care cuz at least you get to be with your baby

I'd go with free childcare
