F.W.
There are still people out there for "IN HOME" childcare and there are some good ones sometimes hard to find that will only charge $125 a week. in 2002 I paid $175/wk for mine. I know before I left corp in 2007, I was looking at commercial places like: Premier and others...the average then for an infant was $195-$220. And at that time I had one that was over 18mth and an infant they were asking for $315/wk. I think if it is your mom she will take whatever you give her and probably would not accept it.My average yearly cost for my first infant in FT childcare was $10k/yr minium.
