How much do you charge per week?
I'm having an hard time finding families that are willing to pay $140/week
I look on CL, and there are so many "providers" in my area who charge as little as $70/week for full time care!!!


I had to lower my rates to 110/week, so I can get some kids, and pay some bills. I did not wanted to do this.. but I advertised for months at my original rate of $140, and I was not getting any calls... at was to the point where I wanted to just give up on doing childcare...
It's being a year since I've started, I'm licensed, I have a quality program, and still parents are not willing to pay the extra money for qualified care...
I know that I could ask more, I could have a bigger paycheck, but if I do they will go somewhere else...
So frustrating...
