Going Rate for In-home Childcare

For me, it also depends on age. I charge $150 for kids not potty trained, and then $125 for the rest. I do know some people charge more for an infant, and you should! These have been my rates for too long, and I should raise them, but I just have not done it yet! Do not sell yourself short! There are people who advertise doing it for $85 etc, but I think you get what you pay for, and I can not imagine how that person makes any money! I do provide food and the families do diapers, wipes, and anything a baby would need...bottles formula, jar food etc! Good luck, it is nice to make money, but can be a hard, and underappreciated job for sure!! ~A.~

I am in Allen and I charge $150.00 per week. For the 2nd child I would only take off $15.00 but not $50.00. But you don't have to give a discount if you don't want to. It also depends on where you are. I know in richardson they charge 200.00 per week.

about 150/wk per child but i believe there is a discount if someone brings more than 1 child. ie: 150/wk for the 1st child and 100/wk for the 2nd child.
but if its two different moms bringing 2 different children,its 150/wk per child. :)
you provide lunch and snacks. they bring diapers and wipes.
