He works full time and Im on mat leave. I do most of the child care for our 4 1/2 month old (including ALL night time child care). I cook lunch but supers are pretty shared. He usually baths the baby once or twice a week. How do you and your family divide taking care of the children? Do you work or not?Not complaining just curious.

Just Being Me asked:


Are child care providers required to provide parents with yearly statements of what they paid? I was wondering if it’s an actual requirement because I’m having an issue with my child’s day care provider. She is not wanting to provide me with a Tax ID or SSN to file on my taxes. I requested this information about two months ago. Can someone provide me with a source? Is there anyway for me to report her?

There was a nest in our bush that had eggs. One egg didn’t hatch. The other baby flew away and the mother cardinal appears to have left. Now, the other egg has hatched. The baby is out and mother is not around anymore. How can we care for it? We would like to help it. Thanks.

I am planning on doing home childcare, unlicensed. I will watch just 1 family of children as well as my own so it is perfectly legal. I am experienced, CPR certified etc. I have done this before, years ago and plan to again to help afford the cost of a bigger home.

If you were to place your child in this type of home care, what would you expect to pay weekly? What about sick days? vacations? Would you expect that food is included? What about taxes, would you claim this on your taxes? Would you expect the babysitter to claim it on hers?

What other opinions do you have on the matter?
at 7.00 an hour for sometimes a 10 hour day (7 am to 5 pm) thats 70.00 a day, completly out of the question! I said “babysitter” because I am not a licesnsed child care provider, but really it would be “child care provider”
I am NOT saying I would not claim it on my taxes, I am not stupid. I am tyring to see what other arrangements people have made and why.
Like I said, i have done this before, but I am starting again and want to reevaluate my rates and rules.
Again people, I FULLY INTEND to pay my taxes, I have never evaded taxes in my life! I was just trying to get an idea of what everyone else is doing.
I have worked as an independant contractor doing childcare for over 4 years and paid every dime I owed the IRS. Please don;t assume that just because I ask about taxes I inted to evade them.
