Does anyone have any rough ideas on what people charge for day care in their homes these days? I know it's different all over, I'm just looking for a rough idea. My friend is thinking about going back to work and if she does I'm her first choice to care for her 3 year old son. I have no idea what to charge though.

Here its around 600 dollars a month for monday - friday 8 hours a day.

I am babysitting for a really good friend right now at her house, sha has a 3 year old and a 1 year old and I charge her 45 dollars a day. I also have her sisters 4 year old and I charge her 25 dollars a day for him. I only babysit them 3 weeks out of the whole year while they wok shut down at a saw mill otherwise my girlfriend is a stay at home mom and she watches her sisters boy for 20 dollars aday.

Thanks for the input. If I were to charge her like $30 a day mon-friday that would be $600 a month. And that was kind of what I was thinking was around $25-$30/day. They will be 9 hour days starting at 6:30am probably, so I'd like to get a little something out of it, even though she's my best friend.

my 6 month old, Chloe, goes to a home daycare currently and it costs $225/week. It is more expensive for a center (around 270-300). i live in alexandria, VA, but my kids go to school/daycare in Bowe, MD. luckily, my son will be starting Kindergarten in sept., so i'll get some relief. oh, i pay $185/week for my son.

Wow, it seems like you pay a lot Tasha. I got a hold of my cousin who does home day care in my town and has for years. She only charges $3.00/hour or $25/day depending on the parents schedules. Want to move to Ontario? I'll look after your kiddos for much less than you're paying!!! lol
