They might be a bit high considering the fact that I'm not licensed (not required in Iowa), but I don't really need the money. I do it because I enjoy having kids around. So my rates are a little high because I don't necessarily want to be full. It also helps offset things a bit when I help people out. I often watch kids from people in our church free of charge.
Hi fellow Iowan!! Where do you live? I am in Cedar Rapids. There is one from Des Moines and one from Dubuque on here as well.
Glad to see another Iowan on here!!
