[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had a new babysitter lined up for an event this weekend for a while. She had told us her rate was $17/hr. She asked today if it actually would be possible to be paid $100 for the night. That's $25/hr, which is almost a 50% increase. How do we answer this? I mean, we could pay her that, but we'd be less likely to call her back (our other sitters charge $17-20, but they aren't always available). Can we counter propose $20/hr, or is this a "her rate is her rate" kind of thing? [/quote] She indicated everything is negotiable. You should also investigate competing offers. Who old are. Your kids? Is she "nannying" tour kids, or sitting on your phone while the kids take care of themselves? [/quote]
