Do any of you guys have helpers in your daycare? I am curious if you dont mind me asking what you pay them..do you claim what you pay them? I can take more kids if I have a helper, but not sure its worth the hostile of being an 'employer'...any thoughts?

Talk to your accountant. They can help you with the tax part. It is very easy. I pay my helper $10 an hour for 2 hrs a day. I feel it is worth it to pay somebody good to keep them around. I knew this gal before I hired her. If I didn't know the person I would probably start at about $8.Comment

My helper is my hubby so We dont actually pay him...it all goes in the same buisness earnings. But like Momma in MT suggeted.. please talk with your accountant first.Comment

That's what I pay my sister an hour for the same number of hours a week. She comes in for 5 hours a day 2 days a week and takes over when I go on vacations or have an appointment. She's young (18) and has a part-time evening job and even though it's 5 hours in 2 days she wouldve done it for 2 hours 5 days a week. The way she figures it is like this: 10 hours a week at $10 an hour is $100 a week multiplied by four weeks in a month (just estimating) is an extra $400 in her bank account a month. If you get someone with experience in babysitting and good references you can probably get someone young like her and in college just looking for a 2nd income for a few hours a week or a job with just a few hours a day or week to leave time for homework.Comment

That is my gal. A stay at home mom. It gives her an average of an extra $400 a month. Gets her out of the house and a little adult conversation.
