[quote=Anonymous]You people are out of your minds!  OP, you do not have to pay $3000!  A couple things to keep in mind... She should be getting paid for her regular time if you chose to take baby, so making it worth her while is important.  And she will not be able to go to dinner with friends, have a drink, anything that she may normally do.  I would pay her a reduced hourly rate for the week, which will include overtime for all hours over 40.  Then I would pay $75-100 per night.  If your baby still wakes up during the night you should pay at least $100, depending on how many times she typically wakes up.  Can she take care of her home and her errands as necessary?  I think you could offer $10/hr, which would bring her to $15 for hours over 40.  Then offer $100, give or take $25 based on your child's sleep habits, for overnight care.  Finally offer extra to compensate for mileage and a small food stipend, she can cover the rest herself as she should be able to come and go as needed.  This would bring your grand total to $2000.  That seems fair.  Is that in line with what you were thinking, or are you wanting to go lower?  Oh, to make this legal, make a temporary contract with a lower rate for the week.  [/quote]
