It depends on the week. DH's schedule changes weekly. We spend $40 a day 8:30-6:00. Some weeks are $0 others are $200...

It really depends...

We pay between $200-300 a week, and it's about 40 hours a week. It's 8:30-3:30 3X/week and 8:30-4:30 2X a week. On the 3:30 days my FIL picks her up the hour early because my babysitter got another job in the evenings.

That is for 5 days a week or less then that? Is it at a daycare center or someone's house? That is cheap for 2 kids from what I've seen!

Re: Be honest...daycare question with POLL

Thanks for the responses! Lots of $0-100's, but I get the feeling that those are either part-time daycare goers or people that have family watching. The average for actual daycare seems to be in the $200-300 range. Thanks again!

It's for 5 days a week, 8:00-4:15. I usually give her another ten dollars more because she drops off and picks up my son from school. It is at her house. She watches my kids and her 1 year old daughter. I'm due in May and will take the rest of the school year off but come Sept or Oct when I go back to work I'll pay $375.00 per week for the 3 kids and $230 a month for my son's preschool which will be 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours.

She is a godsent!! I am sooooo lucky I found her!!
