How much to pay our nanny (share) for one-off sitting? Overnight?

What a horrible thing to read. Congratulations on making another person feel awful.

That person is sad and miserable. Never let someone else’s misery and words affect your life.

OP here, and I totally agree, this was just such a shock. Way to hit a nerve, ya know?

If you can't afford this, then you stay home Stop being a cheapskate.

But OP doesn’t pay $25/hr during the day - she and the other family cumulatively pay $25 for the nanny to watch two children. OP is asking about the nanny just watching one child.

You think she should get less for doing OP a huge favor? Nope. She gets her normal hourly pay.

Leaving the overnight out of this, I think paying $20 for babysitting one child is fine. She does not need to get $25/ hour for babysitting one child just because she gets $25 / hour during the day caring for two children. For an overnight, I've never done that with our nanny so I can't speak to what is standard.
