When I was watching a friend's child, she paid me $15 for the day. Normally it was less than 6 hours, and it gave my DD someone to play with.
When I was working, many years ago, and paying a babysitter to watch my oldest in her home, I was paying $15 a day then also. I've paid as much as $25, not liking it, but I did! lol
As far as a "real" daycare or nanny are concerned, I don't have any experience with that!
