Hello, for those of you with your child in family daycare (daycare in someone's home) how much do you pay and how old is your child?

Thank you!

Re: Family Day Care Costs?

I pay $375 a week for 3 kids. My ds goes to preschool 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours so my sitter only charges me half for him.
DS almost 5
DD 2 1/2
DS 11 months

I am so lucky and she is like family. I also give her an extra weeks pay at Xmas and at the end of the school year. I'm a teacher.

Actually, this is more average of what I have been hearing from people on the streets! I am opening my own family daycare in June and I was just wondering some comparable prices for what I am going to charge.

I have been a NYS family daycare provider for 5 years (although I am currently on an "extended" maternity leave Chat Icon )....My daily rate was $50 per day (children under age 2) and $40 per day (over the age of 2)...Discount given if there were siblings...Good Luck- Its a lot of fun !!!

I used a family daycare provider and she charges $50 per day for infants $40 per day for 2-3 years old and $30 per day for 4 and older. However she will give discounts for siblings. She only provides juice and snacks for the older kids not lunch.

Re: Family Day Care Costs?

I looked into this and unfortunately I am not finding those prices above, as they seem affordable. What is the average you should pay someone to come to you for a 9 hour day? (Infant). What about if they bring their child? How much per day is better than per week. Tnx in advance!

Re: Family Day Care Costs?

We pay by the hour, 6.00 an hour. DD goes for 3 days. We round it off to 50 a day.

We got a recommendation from a co-worker.
