I make about 3000 a month but could make WAY more because I don't have too many kids during the day. I have 5 during the day and can have 12 children by myself but that would be a lot. I get the food program but it hardly covers what I spend on groceries. I am in South Dakota and starting wage here is 10 an hour so there is probably no way I can make the same amount working outside the home without a degree.

I am in Iowa, and I have 3 children, now about to be getting my 4th as a sibling newborn- I make $420.00/week, so $1680.00 a month-- Flag

$1800 per month with food program, roughly. 5 fulltime slots taken used, but in the summer I work only 4 days most weeks. One of my fulltimers goes to preschool 4 am's per week, and another full-timer is often here only 3 days per week, although they have the option of bringing him 5 if needed.
Hey, thanks for the opportunity to count my blessings! I used to make the same money in a bank, and had to be gone all day, then do laundry, dinner, etc. Now I can throw in that occasional load of laundry..- Flag

Wow, you all seem rich compared to me,!
I used to do care in my home & my "high" point was about $1200/month. . . but then I only had 2 families - 1 kid was full-time, 5 days a week with a sibling who was B & A school. My other family had 2 kids & came 3 days/week.
I now nanny in another parent's home & it is part-time (I work @ 4 days a week - it's @ 31 hours/week). I make $1400/month. It's so worth it to me to have a full day at home with my family & to get things done.- Flag

I make between 1200-1500 a month depending on days the parents need care.
I hope to pull in a fulltime child soon!- Flag
