How much do I charge?

My mother in law watches Stella right now 4 times a week. I bring her in at least one day a week but soon will have to stop because she is way too mobile for me right now. My mother in law is now saying she is getting exhausted and would like us to find someone to watch her once maybe twice a week. I have found a at home sitter but am clueless as to how much I should offer to pay. What is the standard rate for one to two days per week?

When I worked I used to pay a lady $180 a week to watch my son. She provided all diapers/wipes, etc though. So maybe w/o it might have been $150....you can divide that by 5 days to get a rough estimate of a per day charge. Though cost always varies by region/city. Hope this helped a bit. =)

Lurking

My DCP (in home) charges $2.50/hr, I usually use her about 6 hours a day, so about $15 a day and I provide everything. I live in Florida....
