how much do you spend for daycare? ?

Poll: How mud do you spend for daycare/ childcare? how many kids do you have, what are their ages, how much does it cost you a week? what area do you life in?

Update:

I pay $120 a week for a soon to be 3 yr old (next week) and soon to be 5 year old (next month). It would have been $70 a child but they discounted me $10 a child since I have two kids at the same daycare. This is the most reasonable I can find in this area. Anything below that is like dropping your kids off at a Homeless Shelter for 9 hours.

Update 2:

wow chonnie, my daycare was open yesterday and school was in. i was off work though. my husband had to work so i really enjoyed my "me" time :)

    I pay $80 per week for one child who is nearly 3 years old. I live in a rural area of Kentucky. This is the best rate in this area that I've heard.

    I have a 4 yr. old. Her sitter charges me $20 a day ($100 a week). A licensed daycare is more expensive, I pay $34 a day if I need to take her there. They do provide snacks and meals though. I live in NY.

    I'm in central IL. I paid roughly $150 a week for our 3 year old at a daycare center. It was closer to 200 a week when he was a baby.
