Re: Daycare costs First of all, yep, there are people who need 3rd shift care, even for infants.
Missmits, do you, or the person who is providing the care already offer childcare? Because if you do, I would stick to whatever you, or who you are asking for normally charges for infants. The hours that you are looking at are in total that of a person's work week - only they scrunched it up into 2 days instead of 5.
Around here, (milwaukee) you are looking at between $3.00 - $4.00 for daycare in the providers home for ages around 18 months to school age. I know that people will charge a premium for infants and late hours, sometimes like .50 per hour more and for goodness sake make sure that the parents provide the food and diapers because that will eat into what you have been paid. I personally do not accept infants, so that is all I know just from talking with people about daycare. HTH in some way.
