I have not had children in daycare for a long time, so I do not what the going rate is. I would at least like to ask minimum wage, if I were you. Then you need to check and see if you are doing child care in their home or in yours. The other thing is that you need to make sure that they are taking care of social security and income tax for you. That is the law, if you are in their home. It could be a really good deal for you, if you like to take care of infants.
