[quote=Anonymous]Question 1

I sit as needed for an 8 year old girl. Pay rate is $20/hr that the parent suggested (if asked, I would have charged $13. I have never been offered this much hourly, and as I am in Houston, this is very high for the area). I was asked to do an overnighter which would be about 58 hours total, about 20 sleeping I estimate. Parent asked me to suggest an overnight rate for total time. What would you suggest? I was thinking $10/hr for awake timings, and $100 total for the two nights sleeping?

Question 2

I have had mostly evening care dates with this family, and most recently a full day. As she is an only child, she likes VERY much for me to be involved with her. Honestly, halfway through the day I was tired from hours of playing different games, etc. I got to the point where I suggested a show and she didn't want to watch tv, but I wanted 30 min of down time. Even then, she repeatedly asked what we were going to do next. During my overnighter, is it fine for me to just go head and implement some down time and say it is 'resting time?' Or if any other suggestions, that would be great.

Thanks![/quote]
