[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't do 24 hour care for 3 weeks for less than $5,000. I think $2000 a week is realistic and fair though. Obviously the parents can afford to pay since they are going away for 3 weeks and using a nanny instead of a relative to watch their children.

Have you asked the parents what they are comfortable paying? I'd work out a flat rate per day. $100 for every overnight is $2100.
 
Examples:

$6000 divided by 21 days = $285 per day
$285-$100 overnight charge= $185 per day
$185 divided by 14 (with the remaining 8 hours as sleeping hours) = $11.50 and that's a flat hourly rate, not factoring in overtime.

If you you charged $75 per overnight, that's still $1575. 
14 hours awake at a rate of $11.50 is $161 per day.
That's $236 a day.
$236 for 21 days is $4956.

OP, you should make at least $5000 for the 3 weeks. Any nanny out there who would do this for $2000-2500 for the 3 weeks is not a professional.

Call some agencies and see what their 24 hour rates are. You would be surprised how expensive it is.

I'd love to know what the family agrees to if you end up watching the kids for 3 weeks.

Good luck.
