[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]55 x 24 x 14 = $18,480. If they want to secure care for 24/7 for 14 days, that seems about right.

Are you sharing a hotel room with the kid, such that once kid goes to sleep you are stuck in a dark hotel room, trying not to make noise?  That’s a major inconvenience and you should be compensated.

Or is it a house situation, where you can be out and about until you’re ready to go to bed?

What does the kid need during the night?  A bottle?  Rocked back to bed?  A snack?  If you’re not used to it, being awoken during the night can be really disruptive to your sleep.

If you want to do a flat rate for the 12 hour overnight part, I’d say a minimum of $250. If you’re in a hotel room with the kid, I’d say $500/night.

Is it a nice vacation spot and will you get time off to enjoy it?  You could take that into consideration too and adjust your fee downward. [/quote]

OP here. I am paid OT for anything over 40 hours per week, hence it being 25k. But yes, she would be in the same hotel room as me. And I would be hovering in the bathroom once she's asleep. Luckily I sleep trained her very early, so she shouldn't have any night time wakings unless she's teething, adjusting, etc. And the location is not overly exciting. I actually used to live there!

But thank you for your response! It was helpful. I mainly wanted to see if people were shocked by the amount. Which they don't seem to be. So I feel better moving forward with the hourly rate. Thanks again
