I placed an ad - and I was wondering what you think is a fair price to pay someone to come to my home and watch a 1 yr old - it's from about 9:15 to around 5:00 - and I come home for lunch so they can leave for 45 min. if they'd want - Price per day - b/c I only need it about 2 days a week. What if they want me to bring her to them - should I change the price - or should it stay the same? Thanks.

When I brought my son to someone I paid $30.00 a day. Hope this helps a little bit!

Wow you were thinking very high!! Even when he was in a regular day care, and that was only last year, it was $30.00. Good luck to you and don't get ripped off!! and check references!!!!

I used to baby sit about 10 yrs ago full time and even back then I was paid $50+ per day.
I'd think it's definitely higher than that by now but I guess it depends on the area, qualifications you're looking for, etc.

Junebride, IMO $70-$75 is reasonable right now. I know that babysitters are getting about $10 a hour.

$30 for 8 hours? that is less than $5 an hour. That is what a teenager gets to watch your kid(s) while you go to a movie. I would think you need to play closer to $75-$100 range.

Yes! I absolutely paid $30.00 for a full day. Privately and not privately. Not privately meaning a licensed day care.

Ours gets $100 day but she is there from 9-6 M to F. We often let her leave early though and we pay her even when we take a vacation. When we were looking, $500 a week seemed to be the going rate.

I work as a nanny for two girls and I get paid $10/hr. I watch them at their own home but I wouldn't ask for more if I were to watch them here. I would be sure that their mom supplied their food though!

Re: How much would you pay someone for daycare?
I take Annalise to a home 2 days a week. She is there approx. 8:30 to 4:30 and it is $45 a day. I provide her food , drink, diapers, etc. She is the only child there in the morning. There are 2 boys (brothers) with her in the afternoon. Most day care centers I checked were about $250 for full days. That is about $5 an hour. I thought this lady was reasonable since she is private and can afford to charge the same price.

Maria goes 5 days a week from 7:30 to 3:30 (earlier, If I can get out of the building! ) to the sitter's home. We pay her $50 per day. But I would be willing to pay someone really good even more.

My mom watches a little girl 2 days a week at my mom's home, and she makes about $60 a day from 8-4.
