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?
1200 for the baby, 800 for my 3 year old and 200 for my son in latch key. 40 for the newborn and 3 year old. My oldest was 10 hours
@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.
That's quite a bit I only charge $10-$12 an hour depending on the kid and distance from my house

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
If my math is right your basically paying $12hr for 2 kids sometimes 3 when your oldest is there.
