[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]24 hour care has been discussed at depth and you will find many old threads with lots of heated discussion.  [b]Some nannies on here will tell you to charge your normal rate ($15/hr?) for all awake hours, with time and a half for OT and an additional overnight rate.[/b]

At 14 awake hours a day, this works out to
$1905 / wk for awake hours at $15/hr
$700 / wk for sleeping hours at $100/night
$7815 total for 3 weeks

In real life, I think most people charge much less than this.  These are school age kids, and you will be responsible for them but not interacting with them 24/7.

I think around $2000-$2500 would be reasonable.  Ask the parents what they have in mind and see if it works for you and what you can negotiate.[/quote]

Yes, nannies will say that because legally you need to pay OT rates for all hours over 40.

Now, some nannies will accept a smaller hourly rate for 24-hour jobs and some would accept no payment for 8 hours of sleep because your children are old enough to sleep through the night (and legally this is allowed).

However, $2000 for three weeks is crazy cheap (depending on location). I charge that for ONE week of 24-hour care.[/quote]
