I was wondering in anyone knows of a cheaper daycare in the Lutz area or any organizations? I have three kids one is in 2nd grade and the others are 3 and 1. I pay $310.00 a week for childcare and struggling. My husband and I both work but times have gone down and I almost work to pay for daycare but the extra $150.00 i make a month helps pay a couple bills. Ang suggestions??

What can I do next?

K.,

I feel for you and the expense you have with Childcare. My daughter will soon have 3 in daycare too.

Have you thought about doing a home based business? I would look into it.

Here is a list of several I know about - pls. note I do not sell any of these products just suggesting.

Avon

Two Sister Gourmet - DIL sells and revenue is good and products are too. Spices Sauces and dips along with some boxed foods. Sells it self.

Pampered Chef - Cook wear products - Everyone likes gadgets.

Home Interiors - Home Decorating

Amway

This is just a few once you get them started they just go and go. Hope this helps some with an alternative. You could sell in the evenings while your husband is at home with the kids and only work part time and make more than the $150.00 you are currently bringing home now.

Good Luck
Kathy

Lutz Learning Center is one of the cheapest in Lutz. Its near the apex, across from Publix. The bus runs from both Maniscalco & Lutz Elem.

Wow! You do pay alot! I wish I was closer to you so that I could help! My rate for two children is $200/wk. ($125 for one) including meals. I live in Holiday though. I would suggest looking into other childcare options. I wish you the best! If I can ever be of assistance for you or a friend...you can contact me via http://incrystalscare.com/. God bless!

My husband and I went thru the same thing, but the way we fixed the problem was I worked days and he worked nights. Although we sacrificed time with one another, it was not a financial strain on us because we didnt have to pay for childcare. You might want to consider working opposite shifts. Just a suggestion. Hope that helps..

HA, I am new so I am sorry for the delayed response to your questions. I am going through the same issue currently except I am doing it as a single parent. I have my kids enrolled at Paradise Learning Center IV, not sure if there are any located by you.. I pay $70 per kid each week b/c they are both in school, but she also gives me a $5 discount for both of them going there so I pay $135/wk. I am now having to look for a sitter one night a week or find a daycare that is open nights so I can work my manager schedule (to keep my job) but I found a link you might want to look into

Good Luck!
