[quote=nannydebsays]If the parents aren't asking you to cut your $20/hour normal rate, don't do it. You could offer to cut your sleeping rate by 50%, to $10/hour, but for pete's sake, don't tell them you aren't worth what they want to pay you! I think $910 - $960 is a completely fair wage for 58 hours with a high needs kid. As far as the child wanting constant interaction, I would guess the parents are fully aware of her needs, and that's behind the high babysitting rate they pay. For the 58 hour gig, see if you can set up a play date each day, and you can feel free to set a timer for a few 20 - 30 minute times of "solo play" so you can recharge a bit. Be sure to bring a book or a craft for yourself, so the child sees that you are busy doing something and want her to be busy as well.[/quote]
