What is the going rate for baby-sitting for an infant in my home?
I’m thinking of taking in an infant to baby-sit so I can continue to stay home with my 2-y-o and my 6-mo-old. Is it a good idea? Would I be able to charge enough to make it pay, for all the extra work it would cause me?
It’s hard to watch other peoples kids because other people raise there kids differently (I know this is an infant). But how well do you know the parent? What is the Parent’s expectations? I worked at a day care for several years and HATED it! I worked with 2 to 3 year olds. I didn’t like it because of the parents not making there children mind. I have worked and low income day care for the state HATE IT, and I have worked at Private day cares for the high class (kids were great, parents were SNOBS). I watch my nieces and nephews while school is out and on brakes, I love my sister in-law but I always have to track her down to get my money which I don’t charge her but $10.00 a day because she is family and it’s only while school is out. She doesn’t pack the kids really good lunches with all the food groups. I stopped watching a friends kid because he never would pay me on time and never brought his daughters lunch or diapers. That is some things you need to think about. Good Luck….
