1,000 is a bit steep...although there are some people who DO get that, but i won't go there today. actually, 1,000 a month for 2 kids for a year would be 24,000....like i said, i was just estimating when making a point.
but since we need to break it down....
800 bucks a month (or 200 a week) for a daycare like Kindercare to be exact is pretty typical.
800 a month X 12 months = 9,600 dollars for ONE kid.
two kids - double that. yup. basically 20K.
agree! My charge would be over $1,100 a month for two kids in care for my daycare parents. If I went back to work right now, I would have two kids in full time, one part timer, one after schooler so yeah, not worth it for me to go back to work! my childcare provider would be taking almost all of my income.
