How much do you pay for afterschool childcare?
Hi everyone,
I'll be returning to work soon and have asked my neighbour to look after my daughter (5 yrs old) afterschool. My neighbour set up a home daycare last September and currently has only two "clients" (her neighbours two schoolage boys) whom she takes care of afterschool. She also has three of her own children (one of whom is my daughter's best friend).
My neighbour receives $10 for both boys (ie. $5 each) and looks after them from 3:30 to 5:30. I will need her to look after my daughter from 3:30 to 6:00.
My question is how much is reasonable for me to pay my neighbour? Because we are also friends I know she is disappointed at receiving only $5 for each of the boys - I don't want to appear too "cheap" nor do I want to pay too much.
Also, I will probably be asking her to mind my daughter for the summer (everyday from approx. 7:15 to 3:00). How much should I pay her pay day/week in this case?
Thank you in advance,
hockeyrules!
