I had two kids in after school care for less than 2 hours a day and it cost me $100 a week – and they were school age. I was paying just over $9 an hour for that.
You may want to reevaluate whether it is worth your time and money to work. Quite often – it’s more expensive to work than it is to not. Lois

$140 a weekand up(but that is for full time). It may be cheaper for you to find a FT (9 hours a day/ 5 days a week) place then a PT place – since PT would be hourly – or the 2may end up being about the same price. Newborns to12 months are more expensive then older kids, since the child / teacher ratio must be fairly low (like 3 or 5:1 or so).

Subject: Budget101.com : Child care
I need to know what is a reasonable price to pay for child care for a newborn. I need child care for 3
hours a day 4 days a week. This is my first child and I dont want to be cheated or cheat someone else.
