Sitter Pay for Wedding New Year's Eve

[Anonymous]

Normal pay for NYE in this area is 50 per hour.

I'm going to echo the why do you need two nannies?

Do you actually need two? Or did they ask to do it together?

If they asked to do it together, then you can pay less because that's kind of weird.

If you asked for two nannies, you have to pay them each. I would say at least $35 an hour for 24 hrs - about $840. Normally, I would pay at least $50 an hour for NYE, but since it is a full 24 hours, I don't think you have to pay that much for all of the hours.

Ask though as they may have a set rate already.

WHy are you getting two sitters?

I make $50/hr on new years eve. Just a warning because they may accept now, realize they can make 4x that and cancel on you last minute for a position that is paying premium rates for the holiday.

A friend of mine couldn't find a sitter last year for $30/hr and cancelled her plans

I am guessing they need 2 nannies in case one kid loses it during pictures or some other family part of the event but the other kid is fine.

I think you need to pay each Nanny at least $25 an hour too OP.
And are they allowed to take the kids out or to the hotel pool or anything? This would be a factor for me in addition to the money. No one wants to keep a toddler entertained in a hotel room for hours on end.

Leave your kids at home and have a relative stay with them or you go to wedding and your DH stay with kids.

She needs to pay each nanny $50/hr for NY Eve.

I have to agree that on NYE, expect to pay your child’s babysitter a much prettier penny since it is a major “going out” night.

Good luck!

$50 an hour is crazy. There are plenty of Nannies and sitters who would work for a lot less than that on NYE

50/hr for 2 toddlers /babies on New Years Eve?? You betcha.

But you need only one sitter. If you insist on 2 you can probably get away with 25/hr each plus lots of good takeout. Let the sitters choose their own takeout.

Not every parent needs to take the bargain sitter route.

Then the parents can attend to their own kid (the one that is "fine.") I'm a mother of 4 and have attended weddings with my young kids without help. A nanny for each kid is a MASSIVE luxury. Either you can afford it, and you pay the nanny an appropriate rate-or you can't, and you don't waste the nanny's time.

That rate for NYE is insanely low. I have my sitter lined up already and she is getting $50 an hour. Any less she could get more elsewhere.

SPLITTING A KING SIZED BED TOGETHER! 2 grown women!? WTH???

Why can’t you have one? I think you are looking at least $600 for the night. If they agree, consider it a win.
