we're in Washington Heights and do home daycare, which runs around 150-200/week. You can expect one caregiver and up to five kids. [ Reply | More

Wow! Seems so low ($150-200) I was thinking of offering $400... at least, that's what I hear the going rate is for home daycare in Northern NJ [ Reply | More

150-200 per kid. So, if you imagine they have five kids, they can make 750-1k tax free per week. [ Reply | More

I just quit my job and have started doing consulting so I could work part time from home and eliminate the commute. I am making the same amount - if not more and have so much more time with my family. I am in HEAVEN! [ Reply | More

LOL! hardly. We are making sacrifices for me to SAH and have accrued a little CC debt. It's our choice. This is what we feel is best for us. I am not pampered in the least [ Reply | More

My son is 2 1/2 and I have a great opportunity to make a 'little' extra w/ lots of perks, so this is why I'm considering. Never in a million yrs did I think I'd be at this crossroad! [ Reply | More
