A good friend of mine is going to be watching my son when I start my new job. She's a stay at home and watches her friends kid and she gets 200 a month from her. She wants 200 a month to watch my son full time, I told her that's too little. My dad is able to watch my son for free, what is a good daily rate for me to pay my friend when I do need her? It would be 8 hours, I would provide all his food and other needs of course.
Basically she will get 200+ a month regardless, but for 160 hours a month.... 200 isn't shit.
@beebaby If I only need her one day a week I wanna give her 40-50, and if I need more days it'll vary. If I could afford it, I would pay her 10 an hour but I can't do that right now, and frankly she wouldn't let me lol.
@beebfull She wants 200 a month to watch him full time. Thats not enough. I would rather utilize my free babysitting and use her as needed. I just needed to know what a good daily rate is. Tis all.
@beebaby @ilovemy2daughters @scurlock.mommy I was thinking maybe 40 a day, it would only be 2-3 times a week. My dad will be the one primarily watching him.
@kmechellec I was a nanny as well and was paid 600 a week. I'm not familiar with the costs of in home childcare though.... and I know it's a small amount. It's what she suggested, not what I'm planning on paying her.
I was paid $200 a WEEK to nanny a little boy in his own home with his mom there (she worked from home). By the time I had the move out of state, I was up to $300 a week. That's a very small amount for an entire month.
@beebaby Thanks!@sawyersmom
