How much is weekly childcare? Can I afford to live on money from home daycare watching 3 or 4 children?

Question by VOO: How much is weekly childcare? Can I afford to live on money from home daycare watching 3 or 4 children?

I thinking about opening a home child care center for up to 6 children. I love children and would like to focus on about 3 or 4 to offer more personal care. Can anyone tell me the doing weekly rate where you live? I would love to hear from other providers. While I would love to do childcare I'm not sure I will be enough income to live on.
I live in California (San Francisco - Bay Area) the cost of living here is among the highest in the country (if not the highest). I'm starting the process this week to become licensed

You might also want to check requirements for opening such a business in your city. Many cities have requirements as wellas licensing procedures.
