The cost will vary by where you live as well as by what you provide. Most caregivers provide food and some outings as part of the fee. Parents provide infant foods, bottles and diapers.

Go to the main page for the forum and input your postal code and it will bring up caregivers that live near you and that would give you a good idea of what they are charging and what they are offering. That should give you an idea of how to market your services in terms of what you will provide and what you will charge for it.

If you give your city, maybe someone that also lives in that area will know of a caregiver support group that is available. Another option is to look into agencies that are in your area. For some just starting out it can be a good way to get started in the sense they will help with what you need including some equipment - especially if you only have your own baby as you will need equipment and toys for children up to 3 years older that your own child.
