[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am traveling with my nanny family over the summer for two weeks, and am struggling with what to charge for the trip. I will be sharing a room with the child, which typically means I'm paid 24 hours/day. However, my hourly rate is $55. So this would end up being ~$25,000 for the two weeks. That is A LOT.

They already agreed to pay me 24/7 for the trip, but I don't feel great about charging this much. / I don't think they did the math.

How would you handle? I would love any insight from nanny employers.

And background info that may be helpful - I typically work 50 hours a week. The child sleeps 12 hours a night but will likely wake up 1-2 times a night.  And they chose to have the child sleep with me versus with themselves. (Which would have greatly reduced my hours).

Thanks so much! [/quote]

You charge your regular rate. You should not cheat yourself.  If they cannot afford to pay you then they can try a novel approach of taking care of their own
children.  THIS IS NOT A VACATION FOR YOU!!!!![/quote]
