[quote=Anonymous]Well, to try to give you a helpful answer, night nurses/nannies make $25-35 an hour, easily.  Daytime hourly rates can be dramatically lower, and, of course, 18 year olds would command a different rate than a professional nanny.  So there's a pretty huge range for you to work with.

I think if I were doing this I'd probably pay $75-100 a night for full overnight care by an 18 year old, assuming I'd be way more "on call" and involved than I would be with a night nurse.  I would have lower expectations of an 18 year old and less comfort so the pay would reflect that.

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable w/ the 18 year old driving the child, but I guess it's possible I would if I knew the teenager well.  But that goes for the overnight care also.  The benefit of overnight care is that the mother/parents can actually sleep and fully turn over the care to someone else.  It would take a pretty special (EXTREMELY responsible) teenager to allow me to really fully disengage.

I hope you have one of those!  :-)  COngrats on the baby.[/quote]
