I recall working with a guy who couldn't understand why his daughter was paying so much for child care. After probing further, he said he was able to hire a retired widowed school teacher and pay her $100/week as she was living very comfortable off hers and her deceased husband's pension.

They also provided her with food, a room, and a she was a family friend.

Food and a room is worth a few hundred a week though.
