Does anyone happen to know what the going rate is to provide child care for a 2 yr. old......who is not potty trained (still in diapers) and is still on the bottle......my girlfriend is providing care for her neighbors little boy......and the neighbor is insists that the going rate is $4.00 hr.....I think this is very low.....especially to receive child care by an adult to who is providing for the child while caring for him.....Anyone have any idea of the current child care rate?
Thank you.

My daycare for my 1 year old is $305/week. I think a lot of it depends on where you live. Try looking on line at prices in your area, or stop by local day cares. Good luck!
Oh yeah, I'm in Massachusetts.

ah yeah...4.00 is very low. We have a live-in nanny and we pay $450 a week, plus she lives with us and eat for free. We also pay her medical insurance. We have a two and a one year old. the two year old is potty trained and the 1 still wears a diaper. She doesnt cook or clean as we have somebody else that does that. She does the kids laundry which she says she likes doing, and of course clean after the kids.

Wow~!!! You people must make higher salaries than I do in Louisiana. I could barely afford to work if I paid 1200 bucks a month in childcare. I pay $70 a week for my baby (full time) and $45/week for morning care to get my 8 year old on the bus.

I run a daycare and I would charge hourly for under 3 and not potty trained 5.00 per hour. If they are potty trained it is 4.00 per hour. A full day for baby is 30.00 and over 3 25.00. Hope this helps.

It just depends on where you are located. it can be anywhere from $100-350/ week. Usually in-home providers charge a bit less though, closer to $100-180/ week. So for 8 hour days 5 days a week this can range from $2.50-8.75/ hour.
