Why is finding great childcare so difficult?! Our current nanny we use part time. It was working out great until she started looking for a second family part time to piece together with us. Now all of a sudden she wants to charge us $17 an hour or she can't stay on. We pay her $15hr. which I felt was already on the high end for a 5 month old. I'm curious to what all you other mamas are paying an hour? Also where did you find child care?
@beebaby, that's $700 a child, which is pretty good! how many hours a week are they watched?
@eryka616, I'm thinking $10-$12 is the average rate for one child? So to be paying her $15 is more than fair. $17hr seems ridiculous to me for the amount of work for a 5 month old. Our baby is super easy and always happy.
If my math is right your basically paying $12hr for 2 kids sometimes 3 when your oldest is there.
