How much should I charge to babysit a 2 yr old? If it makes a difference... I live in upstate NY. She said she will provide food & supplies.
Someone asked me if I could babysit as a backup for when her Mother-in-law can't do it, so it wouldn't be everyday.
It would be from 7:45 am to like 2 or 2:30. If for whatever reason her husband couldn't pick her up after work then the latest would be 4:15-4:30. What do you think is resonable to charge?
The drop in rate for my youngest’s daycare is $55/day, but we get a 10% discount so it’s a little more. My oldest’s daycare was $95 for drop in. I’m in NJ
If you know in advance then I would say it would be reasonable to charge what the per diem rate is for local daycares in your area.
I'm not sure what that is, I'll have to Google it. Thank you!
I would say maybe $100-150 per day. You're basically doing it pee diem which is totally different than being ready every day. Don't you want it to be worth your while to be readily available to her.
I cannot imagine charging a mom just trying to go to work for one day that amount if I wasn’t providing food/supplies and some bomb ass activities. That’s so much.
A day??? Omg might as well do daycare for that price. I think what the above person said 40-50 is plenty.
@jays.mom., my son has a backup provider for emergencies and even then it’s $55/day bc that’s her drop in rate. She provides breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks.
I would charge by the hour . Maybe 10-12/hr
@luna_bear, plus she is providing all food… so ya, to watch a kid $7/hour is plenty.
@momgroupreject, I just think daycare is different than a babysitter. Sitters around here charge about $12/hour
@luna_bear, which is ridiculous to me bc it’s untaxed. When you’re making a flat wage without taxes taken out $7/hour is more like $10/11
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

Postpartum De...
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
I think $40-50 per day is reasonable. But find out if you’ll be expected to potty train because that’ll be a lot of extra work on top of your own kids
