It's terrible... I am a single parent and I pay well over that much in daycare.  I am finding that a lot of programs have scholarships that help pay for the fees... it is just a matter of applying before the scholarship money is used up.\nGood luck.

Okay that is a loaded question.\n1) Many schools have after school daycare programs for around $10/day or $4/hour -- GREAT DEAL DO IT -- the ratios are great and the abused kid issue is not likely\n2) Home care will be around $5-$10/hour - not worth is as they crank in as many kids as possible. Rules are LAX and you see kids abused and die and ignored as the people sit in front of the TV and watch.\n3) Home care of any quality $10-$20/hour still risky\n4) Get family members of change you hours -- this is ALWAYS the best choice - prefer YOU watch your kids youself or your spouse/childs father

That comes to a hourly rate of $12.50 before taxes.  Try a part time job during the day, and be a tutor for kids with their math, science, English or sports during evening and weekends.

I think it depends on what state you live in. When I was in Cali it was 10:00 an hour per child, but that was almost 3 years ago so I know it has gone up by now. Just make sure you charge per child an hour otherwise you'll get screwed like I did. Good Luck!!

i think those ages are considered as the most busy to take care. becoz i really care for the children's safety and well being, therefore it will take me a lot of efforts in taking care of them. I will not let them go out of my sights. Make sure they're happy n so i wont be getting complaints frm the parents. I say i would charge for 3 kids for 6 hours at $ 600. Sounds expensive, hey i'm a responsible person. u gotta pay for my precious time too :)

Some universities/colleges have programs to help with this--check with your school (or the schools you are considering).  If they have a daycare for their employees, they often offer more deeply discounted rates for students.\n\nDepending on the age of your children, I have had profs in evening classes allow children to sit quietly in the back of the room (reading, etc.).  But this would be up to school policy and/or each prof.

You would have to compare the costs of daycare to what your salary would be. Even with no work experience you can find a decent job. Dont sell yourself short. Some of the wealthiest people I know never finished high school. Anyway. Weigh out the options.

Just ask - if you have a good reason then tell them ex.\n\n- the going rate is $8.00 hour for 2 kids and what your paying me is not enough\n- My standard rates are:  {Lay them out, maybe it is more per kid, more on weekends, more after 10 pm or something}\n- Explain that you are in high demand due to your excellent skills and certification and you can't afford to babysit for less than $10 hour etc.

i babysit very often, although i've never had a case like this.  i know it may sound odd, but i think the price/hour/child, in this case, may depend on how long she babysits each time.  by this, i mean that, if she just babysits for an hour or two, it would be less per hour than if she did it for more than 4 or 5 hours.  this is because, as the time goes by, there is more work that has to be done, more problems to deal with, more stress for sitter and children, etc.  i would say a baseline total would be about $20-$30 per hour, but more would be acceptable, depending on the families monetary status (if you know it), the going rate for babysitters in your area, etc.  possibly, charge $30 for the first 2 or 3 hours, then maybe $40 for the next few.  with these prices, I'm using a low estimate of $15 for autistic/hour (more, depending on the work your daughter needs to do), then $7.50/hour for each of the other 2.  i give the same price for these 2  because the 12 yr old probably doesn't need that much looking-after, i think it's nice to charge a little less as they get older, and, especially since it sounds like the ADD is very mild, that shouldn't be much of a factor in pricing.  ask around what is usually charged for 3 typical children in your area, raise the price slightly, consult with the parents of the children about how much they are willing to pay.  the price for 2 childern should be more than the price of 1 child times 2 (more work with 2, more trouble to get into), same goes for 3.\nyour daughter sounds like a wonderful person to be willing to do this work.  it sounds like a great opportunity for her to grow as a person as well.

If you are have been doing this for a while, I would charge no less than a hundred. Kids can be very stressful..

I am not an expert in this by any means! I do agree with the first respondant, that you need to provide more information.\nFor example, \nWhere are you located (cost of living will impact your salary)?\nDo you manage other employees?\nWhat does an assistant manager do?\nDo you take care of planning for programs and activities?\nHow many kids are in the daycare?\n\nYou can find details on US AFC website National Child Care Information Center http://www.nccic.org/poptopics/salaries.html\n\nSalary.com can also provide information. You have to  pay to get a fully customized answer. However, I would cross the Day Care Center Teacher with the Retail Assistant Manager and estimate a salary that way. With 15 years of experience, I would expect you to be in the mid -to-  upper\nrange of the salary.\nA retail asst. manager makes $34,691 on average\nA child care center teacher makes $27,495 on average\n(remember these are numbers from across the US, if you go to the site you can specify states w/o extra cost.
