Hello I'm a mother of a beautiful 3 1/2 girl. I have been lucky enough to have my mom babysit her for free she would never have wanted payment to do so but now my soon to be ex-step-dad are getting a divorce and she can't work due to having 4 kids still at home plus watching my sisters 3 kids ( I know full house but its the best) anyway she attorney is now saying that we need to pay her for these services and she hates it but my question is I have know idea what to pay her she only watches her for 4 hours on Thurs and about 10 hours on Fri. If anyone can tell me what they pay for childcare that would be great do I pay hourly or what I'm so confused! Maybe someone knows of a good day school for my daughter thats not going to charge a arm and a leg LOL Thanks for any and all advice!

What can I do next?

Why is her attorney telling her what to do concerning her own children & grandchildren for starters? But on to why you are writting. My daughter sits for people (she is 15) and the going rate is $3/hr for 1 and $5/hr for 2. Not sure that helps or not, but just thought that I would put that out there.

I'm not sure how much people usually pay. My daughter goes to an in home daycare and she charges $20 a day.. Not sure if that will help you any but I figured that is a decent rate..

My cousing watches my kids in the summer, I have 2 a 5 & 6 yr old and I pay her $5 an hour, which still makes her decent money for being 15, and gives me a little break in the price as well!!
