Talk to the parents and talk to other day cares in the area.
Are you certified in CPR? What are your licenses?
If you have a license, I would charge upwards of $80-$100/week.
If you don't have a license but have been certified in infant CPR and first air, I would charge closer to $50/week.
If you don't have any of the above, I suggest charging closer to $25/week.

Lets see, the cost of gas for taking and picking up the children, providing lunches, and saving them money from having to pay a daycare center (They do before and after school care too). I would charge them about $500 a week for taking care of the 3 kids. I charge $800 a month for 2 brothers, and that is about half of what they would pay a daycare.

Charge what u think is right but just make sure you are registered with the care standards institute becuse trust me if anything happened to these kids whilst in your care you would be finding yourself locked up for a good period of time as you have not followed the uk's law on child protection

I lived in a small town and the parents paid me $20 a day for 2 children. Honestly it is up to you what you charge. The hard part is deciding what the parent can afford and what you can afford to take. If you only have one child the whole day and two of the children for part of the $25 a day seems reasonable for your area.

My cousin pays $500/month for her 1 yr old for the hours of 8-5:30. Hope this helps. We live in Colorado.

when i had my daycare i charged 25 dollars for 10 hours and after that it was 3 per hour for the first child and for each additional child i gave a 15% discount until they reached the 10 hour mark then no matter what it was 3 dollars an hour per kid.

because your mom is helping out, she is very experienced. i'm assuming you aren't cpr certified, etc. so i would charge $125/wk or $500/month. if you have certifications or have taken a babysitting class (i took one at a hospital) i would charge $150/wk or $600/month. i kinda searched around and looked, i'm not an expert, but i think this is fair.

You should compare prices of the local daycares, and maybe go a couple dollars cheaper... get more clientel that way.... newborn is more expensive always!!
