Question

monterey county calworks childcare

Answer 1

You have to tell them how much you charge first.  Then they will either tell you that you charge too much or will tell your cousin's parents that they have to supply part of the cost of childcare themselves.

Answer 2

They like to see what you will say first.  I know for preschool, they will only pay like $200 and something a week, but since you are private, I am not sure if they will pay you that or lower.

What they will do is whatever you tell them, if they decide it is too much, then they will offer you their maximum and then require the mother to pay the rest.  You can do it that way and then not require the mom to pay the rest.  I would say don't ask for more than $200 or $250 a week.
