need help with pricing

so i am so lucky a close family friend will be watching baby at the start of the new year. we have figured out $$ but it seems low to me.

what are you paying for full day care?

she is watching 4-5 days a week 8 ish hours a day. use of my house, food, washer etc but still its alot.

i obv dont want to pay an arm and leg but dont want to be cheap either

need help with pricing

daycare was $1387 a month for dd
nannys are typically 10 an hour

My Sister paid around 550 a week. Thats on the lower end of pricing but not unreasonable, but I know nannys can be a lot more.

Re: need help with pricing

I was a nanny 8 years ago...I worked 4 days a week from 7-4 and was only responsible for the baby, the baby bottles, and the baby laundry. I was paid $60 a day and more if they needed me early or late. I was also 23 and it was my first nanny job.

ETA: I'd say $80-$100 a day now is reasonable for a close family friend.

Daycare is 245 a week for m-f 630-630 it was supposed to be 330.

Re: need help with pricing

Daycare is a lot less expensive than a nanny for obvious reasons. We've used both so.

Nannies tend to want at least $15/hr, though you can find some for a little less, and some will want up to $20/hr. On a daily rate, you would look to pay at least $110-$120/day or $550-$600/week.
