[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our plan is to use college babysitters for afterschool hours. And we will save a lot of money by not having an AP. [/quote] I guess this depends on where you live but every time I crunch the numbers, I can't figure out how we would save money by using babysitters for afterschool care. In the DC area we would have to pay at least $25/hour for someone to pick up our kids from school and watch them for a few hours. If we did 3 hours every weekday to cover pickup until when parents are done with work, that's almost $400/week...way more than an AP's weekly stipend as it currently stands. Of course if they do fully implement the new AP regulations then a babysitter probably is more affordable, but I won't really feel like I'm "saving" money at that point...[/quote]
