Wow ... Day care prices are so much higher in Toronto, Canada than USA!!! Average is about $1000/month & new borns are around $1500/month. Lucky ladies ...

I pay $100 a week in central Nebraska. Will go to $150 with two children.

I pay 25 a day.

Just make sure you set a price, i never did and she kept paying less amd less every week i finally let her go today after she paid me 48 cents an hour, for 87 hours!

In my area 160 a week for in home daycare

Our daycare charges $17 a day and some other daycares around us charged $25 a day.

I live in NY and we are going to pay $200/week for in home (at another's home) and we'll supply diapers/breast milk. Our daughter will be the only one being watched. We won't pay for the days she is not there.

For a daycare center, it would have been $300+/week and we'd have to pay whether she is there or not. Would also still need to supply diapers/breast milk.

I'm a bit jealous you all have much cheaper options... But it's expensive here!

I'm located in upstate New York, and we pay hourly. The lady I take my daughter to charges $7 an hour per kid, which ends up being about $35 a day during summer & $60 a day during the year (I'm a teacher). When we lived in Seattle, I paid weekly and it was $150 a week for 6-7 hours a day.

Central IL-

ranges $30-40 per day part time in home.

One in home is $135/week full time.

Daycare center is $145-195 depending on age (younger=higher$)

Live in Sanford/lake Mary Florida. Rates are $260 a week for one

I need to move to a different part of the country. I have been looking into home daycares and centers and they range from $260 to $350 per week.

My mom does in home daycare. She is one of the few that still charge per hour per child. Her rates are 2.40 per hour for one kid and 4.40 with second. My daycare will be around 180 also

I live in western Nebraska on the border of Iowa and pay 180 a week for infant and toddler. Can't beat it!

I pay my sitter 50/day. She comes to my home, I supply all food, diapers etc.

I live in rural Minnesota and pay $25/day. But when I lived in Cincinnati, it was $200/week.

We live near Kansas City, MO and pay 125.00 per week for our three year old.

Yes I'd say $100 a week? My child is 3 going on 4 and total its prob $480 a month because I buy snacks etc for the kids a week as well as payment

I'm in central Illinois and around here for in home daycare is around $30 a day.

In-home rates where I live are quite reasonable...around $105-$120 a week for full time. Our little girl goes to a center, and we pay $160 a week full time.

We pay $135 a week but it's going up to $140 bc our child isn't potty trained yet.

I pay $45/day

I live near buffalo new york and pay 25 dollars a day. I provide all diaper, wipes, formula. The provider provides meals. Other places around us range from 25 to 35 a day. We live in a rural setting.

I'm in the Plainfield area.

Where in Chicago?

I pay $50 per day.

Yo u may want to check what the local daycares are charging. Also take to account what services and ages you will have. Will you provide food, Diapers, wipes, etc? When I was in sound texas with a newborn (which usually cost the most, and lowers in price as they get older) I was paying $110 a week. I provided his diapers/wipes and milk, as well as his blanket and sheets for his crib (which they provided). When we moved to wheeling WV, we paid $850 for a 1 yr old. They provided the food, I provided diapers/ wipes, sheets/blanket. When we moved to harrisburg pa "tuition" went up to $1100 for a 2 yr old, and I had to provide food, Diapers/wipes, blankets etc.

So basically it depends on your area and what you'll provide. my son's babysitter has the same status as you and runs her own in home daycare and she charges $225 a week. And she provides food.

I would price shop your area you want to stay competitive with your local market.

I pay 110 per week. Tip! Take teachers kids so you can have summers and school holidays off! Lol you can pick up older school age kids in the summers to make up for kids you lose in the summer. Or you know. Take it off :)

I pay 100/wk

Prices vary so much by area.. Try to find out what your competition charges!

In South San Francisco, CA, I was paying $350/ week for 1 toddler for full-time 5 days.

In Sacramento, CA I pay $1100/month for full-time 5 days preschool.

I pay $150 a week

I pay $160 a week for my newborn.

I pay $110 a week for my two year old...but its also a relative who does it. so you can likely charge more. most day cares around me go for $200 a week (average)
