Daycare
Also remember to find out what the rules are where you live - you may need to have a license....if a child were to get hurt in your home, you could run into a lot of issues if you are operating an unlicensed day care. It may seem like a lot of work - but it is really not that hard and the rules are there to protect everyone involved.
As for price - most people are doing this as a living or supplementing a spouse's income - it is an extremely difficult job for which the pay is paltry at best. Parents are trusting you to care for and raise their child while they are not with them - in my opinion, you can't put a price tag on this!
Although I know it is a huge expense - good day care providers earn every penny and deserve much more than most of us can afford to pay.
Find out what the going rate is in your area by calling a few centers, also check your local newspaper for other provider's rates then charge a fee that is inline with the others - you are not running a charity and if you do this right it will be a wonderful situation for both you and these children.
Good luck!
