How much do you spend on Daycare if you used them. Per Day/Per month or what not.
 
I personally don't need daycare for my kids, but a neighbor pays $350 a week for her 3 year old.
 
The $350 is with a local church. An at home day care runs approximately $200 a week for each child.

When I had to pay for child care (1994-1996) I paid $75 for the first child, then when I had the 2nd, I was charged an additional $50. That was weekly at an in-home daycare. My mother-in-law was totally terrified. My kids were the only white kids there with 7 other kids. Mine loved it there and they got the best care I could have wished for. The daycare owner was a fantastic Jamacan lady. The lady's son was "Junior" and my daughter would follow him around calling him "ooner".
 
makes sense.

I made a thread in regards of how you can live on SSI comfortably.

I had to do a quick google on day care costs and found 600-1000 was the norm, and you said so, 200 a week.
 
When my mom babysat... people wanted her to work for $8 a day... which is how much daycare charged. She told them if they wanted such low price, they should go to daycare since they can afford $8 a head per day. No babysitter can afford to pay attention to one child for 8 hours for 8 dollars a day.

Heck yea. at 20 days a month that's only $160. Too much hassle for so little.

600 makes sense.
 
Full Time rates in Northern CA:

Pricey is 600 dollars a month

Reasonable is 500 dollars a month

A great deal is 400 dollars a month

Drop in rates usually charge 5 dollars per hour, they max out at 5 hours (25 dollars) but I've found drop-in care for 15/20 bucks a day. Not bad.
 
mostly parent always accept grandparents babysitter for free!! When parents at work than pay!! IF i have my own children somedays i would let my mom watch my kids as babysitter for free!! Than daycare..

Daycare is totally lots of money im not sure how worth lots of money if you fill out application for watch kids trust me but when i was little girl my mom drop me and my brother at daycare im not sure my mom pay for that!!
