So I've been talking to my husband about how people don't want to pay for care. and we agree that it is ridiculous how parents will fork out the money for dinner, movies, or whatever but don't want to pay for child care. He even said that he felt my rates were low (not low for my area) and that he couldn't believe parents weren't willing to pay more to ensure quality care for their child.
So along with the housekeeping and looking at what some people are charging, it looks like parents are willing to pay someone to come clean their house for one day, but not willing to pay almost the same rate for their child for an entire week! Grrrr... I don't get it.
There is an ad on care.com for ft infant care 730am-5pm for $60/week
Another lady contacting me asking if I could take care of 2 children 2yo and 2mo for $100/week for BOTH
Okay, vent over... for now...
I know this has been drudged up before, but it just kills me that people aren't willing to pay a decent price for child care.

No really DHS pays almost just that amount for care, so the only one i really make anything from is the out of pocket parent. Otherwise i wonder sometimes if i should just ditch the two DHS kids and try getting two more out of pocket parents
that sounds painful! Doesn't seem worth it to take DHS then... So even the state thinks child care is only worth that much??? :confused: Jeez.....
