[quote=Anonymous]We pay our AP $250/week. Plus agency fees are about $9500 each year. Just those two things amount to $432/week. If you add in just $40 weekly for food and $1000 yearly for car insurance and $400 yearly in added utilities, you're at $500/week. This is not including outings with the family, gifts for bdays and holidays, plane tickets to come on trips with us, etc. According to the proposed regs, APs will be paid $17.50/hour. We need an AP afterschool from 3-7:30pm which is 22.5 hours/week. But we are required to pay them for 31 hours which would come out to $542.50. Minus $130 for room & board= $412.50. So now we're at $412.50 but haven't factored in agency fees and car insurance and food. Add those back in and we are at $654.42. no thanks. I will find an afterschool sitter or put the kids in aftercare and take back the extra room in my house.[/quote]
