As the others said, it depends on the prevailing rate for your area. Look through the classifieds and call a few of the providers as if you were looking for care for your children. That way you can find out what others are charging. Sneaky, I know, but you need to know what others are charging.

That said, at $30/day, you are higher than what providers in my area are getting. I'm in a town of 15,000 that is a mix of urban & rural and is south of Portland, Oregon. We're about $25/day.
