[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok does your child sleep thru the night?

You can pay rate for all awake hours (also include nap in those awake hours, just like a regular nanny) and a flat rate for the night. Now if your child wakes up a lot this may not work.

So say Saturday 
Kid up at 7am - clock starts 
Gets hourly all day
8pm kid in bed asleep- clock stops/night rate kicks in. 
Hopefully kid sleeps- if not clock starts/stops for the night wake ups

I charge $100/night plus my hourly rate.

Remember to get a medical release form signed and temporary guardianship as well. Plus leave all important numbers and any emergency numbers, just in case.

Agree with this poster.  I work for a family two nights a week and this is our arrangement as well.  My hourly rate is higher (they have 4 kids) at $20 per hour so a long weekend adds up to almost $1000. The youngest is not sleeping through the night so I'm usually up at least once, if not twice.  I definitely don't get much sleep those weekends and that is probably why they pay me my full rate the entire time.  I've offered to take less but they always insist.

I try to do extra things around the house to help.  I often do light cleaning and try to catch up on laundry so they come home to nice clean house.   When the youngest is sleeping through the night, I will charge regular rate for awake hours and $100 flat fee for each night.

I think this is a pretty standard arrangement but talk  to your babysitter and see what she has in mind.

Good luck:)
