[quote=Anonymous]You cannot afford to have her watch him. Find a family member or change your plans. Someone who could afford this would not be asking if you need to pay for her food (of course you will pay for her food). A quick, rough breakdown of cost: assuming your baby's day runs 7am-8pm (13hr per day)... 13hr/day x 7 days = 91 hours 40 hours at $16/hr = $640 51 hours at $24/hr = $1,224 for overnights you will either pay a higher set rate (I'd ask $150-200/night if your baby is up at ALL during the night) or a lower set rate ($100-$150/night) plus $24/hr (OT hourly pay) for any time the baby is up, rounded up to the hour (i.e. if the baby wakes up at 2am and goes back down at 2:20am, you'll pay for the FULL hour - not 20 minutes of it - as the nanny still needs to get herself back to bed/has had her rest seriously interrupted). So you're looking at around/at least $900 for the overnights. That's a total of $2746 plus expenses.[/quote]
