Hi. I live in New York state and I'm going to be starting to babysit my neighbors kids, one is 3 or 4 and will be full time and the other is 8 and will be after school. They have the child care thing through ProAction to help them with childcare costs and I was wondering if anyone else has done this and what their experience was. Is it like a regular paying job, do they pay minimum wage or do they have special payment ect?

Have no idea heres a bump -
I have no idea. This is definately not what I had guessed this post was about.
I live in Ny State also.. But I had never heard of that company. But I am assuming you live either in NYC or near it.
I live in Rural New York south of Buffalo Ny by about 2 hours. Near the Pa boarder.

Headstart is a federally funded preschool, not a childcare subsidy paid to an individual -
My coworker would watch her friends kids and get paid through the state. I'm not sure if there's a name or a company. All I remember her saying was that she watched her friend's 2 or 3 kids during the day, got paid through the state, and had to fill out a taxform come tax season. I live in PA, so I don't know if it would be different or not.

If it is through federal funds, you may need to have certification.

1 It appears that your confusing the parent company's of Either Accord for allegany county or Community action for Catteraugus county.. Not sure what other counties call it.. But I am pretty sure that Headstart doesn't pay for daycare. Why? My BFF is a site manager for Headstart. I asked. She said She has never heard of any such program. But it may still be a program of the parent companies which isn't afiliated with headstart..kwim!
2 Which county are you in.. or what town. I live in Rushford..
