[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We look at numbers first.

If it's just you, then only 2 kids (including yours) is appropriate.  So then it's like a nanny share and you can charge 400/week.  At least in NoVA.  Maybe a little less there, not sure.

If you get an assistant, then you can do 4 kids.  One of you will have to go out to get milk, food, wipes, etc. at some point with that many kids.  Or one of you might get sick or have an appointment.[/quote]

In Maryland, $400 a week is really high for in-home daycares.  (I've been researching this a bit lately.)  I don't think people will consider it like a nanny share.  That's a different thing entirely.

My impression has been that in Maryland, in-home daycares charge less than the centers.  And what they charge varies according to location.

The state has pretty solid guidelines about how many kids per adult, but it depends on the age of the kids (i.e. fewer infants per adult are permitted).

In MD, there are also some guidelines about physical features about the home.  You might have to make modifications.
