I work part time and my mom does one of the days, so I only pay my sitter two days per week. Does anyone know what the going rate is for someone to come into your home. She is a nice lady - a grandma herself, but not a certified nanny. I live in the Cincinnati area, so I'd expect my rates to be higher than the rural areas, but probably not as high as in some of the larger urban areas. I'm curious to see how this rate compares for someone giving care in your home.
Any feedback is appreciated.
I became a SAHM for the above mentioned reasons. I discovered I couldn't afford my job anymore. My DH and I examined carefully our budget and being that he was due for a raise soon, we decided to take the plunge. I also have time to clip coupons and look for bargains. We still eat out, but we plan for it and limit ourselves to a certain number of times per week.
