I stay at home with my two kids, and PC is my hobby. A member of my DH's family just had a baby a few weeks ago, and has asked me to consider watching him for her. She's a nurse and really wants to go back to work full time, but she's nervous about leaving him with someone she doesn't know. He's a preemie, so that's adding to her anxiety. I completely understand what she's going through - I had planned to go back to work after my oldest was born, but when he came early, I just couldn't leave him. I would love to watch him, but she wants to know how much I'd charge. So this is what I need help with! I have no idea what the average rate is for watching a newborn, but she's family, so that makes it harder! Any suggestions?
