Inhome care/sitter cost!!!

What is the average charge? I found a sitter who watches kids at her home and she charges $10 an hour. Is that average?

Our licensed daycare provider charges $8/hr for part time normal (before 5:30/6). Days that she has DD late it works out to $10-12/hr. Not sure how much she charges for full time. We pay our sitter 10/hr that comes to us on Saturday's.

We pay someone $11/hr. she watches DD for like 10-11 hours a day 2-3 days a week. DH and I work long days and she's great so its worth it.

Re: Inhome care/sitter cost!!!

We pay a little less than that, but it's full time (mon-fri 7:30/8Am until 6/630PM). DD is the only child there...

Will she have other children there as well? How old is/are your DC? I find they charge more per hour the less hours they will watch them, as it needs to be worth the money...KWIM?

Will she be providing food or will you?

I have to find all info out on food etc. But I'm thinking I'll provide and it's only 4 hrs a day so only lunch would be given and maybe snack. She will have 3 other kids there at times but not everyday.
