Babysitter?!

Anyone know how much a good babysitter should charge??

That is an awesome price, for care I wish more people were like that. I'm in  VA and even the private providers who care from home are high.

I run an in home daycare. I charge $20 a day and have kids from 6:30am until 5:45pm. I provide snacks, breakfast, lunch, and beverages (unless they are still on formula or breast milk).  Daycare rates are way higher than that usually though. I also have an AS degree in teaching.

Depends on if you are looking for a sitter or something like a daycare provider. The difference being a sitter only watches your child for a few hours and a day care provider will have your child for the majority of a day.
When i think of a sitter I'm thinking a relative, a friend or someone in your neighborhood who you trust and that would depend on your relationship with them like no more than $20. Hourly.
When you are talking about someone you can drop your child off to or come to your home for most of the day who does it for a living ,the fees get higher. Like 250 a week.

Yep around my way new born are $135 a week, I'm just going work part time because it's like I'm working just to pay for day care

I know it is going to cost me $600/month for my infant so I'm just not going to work
