If you have children, how much do you pay for childcare and how old are your children?

Question

I am conducting some research on what a family pays for childcare and... please feel free to provide as much information, opinion or feedback as you like.

Answer 1

My child is in preschool 3 mornings a week for 3 hours and it's 67$ a week. Full time I think is about 175 for a 4 year old.

Answer 2

Answer 3

My child goes to a christian pre-school for three hours a day for three days a week. It is a $50 application fee and $95 a month.

Answer 4

I am a full time mother and look after my own children, no daycare or nannies or au pairs etc . I could not trust anyone to look after them as I do. They are nearly 5 and 6 now.

I intend to go back to part time work when they are both in full time school. I want to be there for them as my mum was for us.

Answer 5

I pay way more than that around here.  I have 2 kids in daycare, and I pay $150/week for one, and $150/week for the other.  That is standard in our area, and even low - infants are around $200/week at a center.

Answer 6

I personally dont have kids of my own but I have 2 toddlers at home. My niece (2 1/2 yo) and my baby brother (1 1/2 yo). Both my mom and m y brother pay 100 dollars for a 5 day work week meaning 20 dollars a day from 7am to 5 to 7 pm.

this website might help as it has costs of many childcare settings!

My setting is for 2.6 to 4.11 year olds-

Children under 3 are £6 for two hours.

Over 3's (depending on their birthday) are free as they are government funded.

This is a pre-school that although private accepts government funding-England.

Answer 8

I have a 3 year old son and I currently pays 265.00 per week. However it all depends and where you are located. I am located in Whiteplains NY so I figure that is the reason why I pay that much for child care.

Answer 9

hi. i work in a playgroup where parents pay £10/session from 9-12. i don't have children but i  have lots of friends who pay £6-£7/hour for a babysitter/nanny

Answer 10

I stay home with my children. When my oldest was born we looked into Daycare for him and it would have taken almost my whole paycheck to pay for it.
