I'm an MB and we have left our kids with their nanny (in our home) for the same kind of duration you're looking at here.

To do so, we paid the nanny overtime for any hours beyond her regular 50 hour work week, when the kids would typically be awake.  Then we paid a flat rate for the overnights, and we gave her an additional vacation day when we returned so she didn't have umpteen days straight of working.

For us this math worked out to something like $600 for the overnights ($75/night for 8 nights) and about $1,200 in overtime.  Plus the paid vacation day.

My kids are young (2 year olds), and not in school, so her work demands are different than your scenario.  I can't speak to what the "going rate" is for school age kids, but I think $150/day to watch 4 kids and be responsible 24/7 is pretty damn cheap.

I don't think you're wrong to feel that you're being taken advantage of.  You should stop allowing that.

Good luck.[/quote]
