How Much Money Do You Make?

[LysesKids]

Y'all do realize this is an old post that you just revived ... it died in 2011 and for the record I've been grossing 1600 with the 3 kids I have ... 4 kids will get me 2100 next month before any deductions

I bring in $2750 a month before expenses for 4 full time kiddos. I live in central Tx.

Depends how much I need. Some days I don't make up any. Other days I am broke and have to make more but if I am out of ink, then I don't make any that day. Sorry that is how the thread title hit me when I read it .

Anyhow the real answer is not enough. I have two families one with two kids one with three. They are before and after school, 6A to 8P. But one is here only two days a week, the other is here usually 3-4. So I am making $480 a month. I am not charging enough I know but I was having a hard time getting kids and gave discounts. I will probably raise rates soon.

Thrifty, you don't have kids during the day? As in, the school day hours?

Probably around 1800 before taxes and expenses, my prices are going up after I settle in with the new baby though.

I'm limited to 6 kids, and part of the year I only wanted 5. So I don't know about monthly, but I made 40k this year. Expenses are a little high though. I pay 4k a year for an assistant/Spanish teacher.

Only when school is out. But I just got a call and scheduled an interview tonight for one that will be if he starts. I haven't planned it like that, it has just worked out that way. Oh it looks like I made an error what I am making. I am getting $680 per month right now.

I couldn't get before & after school if I tried. The schools here offer it for $5 an hour. There is no reason for anyone to use a daycare for older kids.

See it is in demand here our school doesn't offer it. And many parents work in other towns and have their younger kids in care in the towns that work in, but need someone for before and after school. I kind of like having my days free, but need to make more money.

Man, Ya'll are soooooooooooo lucky!!!!!!!! I have 5 before/after schoolers, and 3 kids during the day, and 2 part time, and 1 on weekends, and I only make around 1800 a month....Dang Louisiana

I make around 2000 a month. I have five kids. I cant legally have more than that. I live in NJ. It's no where near the cost of living. I do it so I stay at home with my children. A while ago, I wanted to open a center but zoning is crazy in NJ.

I am limited to 5, and right now have 3 enrolled full time and 2 babies yet to be born paying the holding fee. Come January one of my full timers will start spring semester Preschool, so I will be down one child. As of right now I make about $375/week, or 1,500/MO. I will be making about 1,100/MO for a few months, and then back to my usual. Come May, I am projected to make 2,000/MO. All in all I can't complain. I can make ends meet, and I live with what I have and am happy with it.

I have 3 full time (don't want any more) and make a little over $1,900 a month.
