Baby sitting service ...how much should i charge

Question

my mom is starting a babysitting service to earn some money, and she likes kids and everything.. mother of 5 :) .. but how much should we charge a child. ?.. per hour? per day ? help please! Thanks.

oh and also how should we tell people?... im thinking of making flyers on the computer saying baby sitting service, experienced mother, and to call for more info, with our number on it.

Answer 1

That sounds like a good idea!  

I know people who charge $300 a week, but that's WAY to expensive.

My neighbor has a large day care service, and she charges 150 a week, or I think maybe $4 an hour.  That doesn't include Snacks, Lunch, and Breakfst (If needed).  Some smaller day cares charge $100 a week, which is a good price.  

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than 150 to take my kids to a daycare.  

Hope I helped!
