Hi M.,
Just thought I dlet you know that I provide daycare services in my home including meals and snacks, activities, and learning for 150 a week fulltime, and I am considered cheap for all I do. The ads you seen are right when I worked full time I we paid our sitter 10hr. It tends to be mor expensive for part time or someone coming to your home. If you take your child somewhere your rate is going to depend on what they offer which is usually nothing just a "sitter" or if they watch a tone of children your rate may be less. If you are going to go with a teenager I would only offer $5-6 hr starting. If you are interested in taking your child somewhere I do have an opening, Im not sure what kind of hours your looking for or hwere your exactly located, but if your interested let me know. Otherwise hope I been a help, and good luck! T.
