Prolly gonna get an ear full, but that's alright I guess

maybe looking at it this way will help you understand where she is coming from:

if your child is in care for 3 days at $40/day, for 10 hrs each day totaling 30hours of care in a week, you are only paying your child's provided $4.00 per hour.
3days x $40 per day / 30hrs = $4 per hour

Out of that she has to pay for your child's food, your child's arts and craft supplies, and any other daycare items that are need as well as all her living costs (rent, food, etc)

kids working in fast food make more money an hour then the lady taking care of your child.

I have a lot of parents tell me that the $35 per day that I charge is a lot, until I break it down by hour.
I hope this helps.
