[quote=Anonymous]I work the overnight shift at a hospital 11pm-7am.  Normally this does not cause any issues because I come home, drop DS off at preschool/daycare and go to bed.  DH works from home and picks up DS in the afternoons.  Sometimes DH has to travel out of town for 2-4 days (happens once every other month or so) which means I have to find someone to sleep at the house from 10:30pm - 7:30am and get up with DS (2.5) at 7am and feed him breakfast/get him dressed for school.  I was talking about this with some of my mom friends and one of them offered to provide coverage as her kids are both in school during the day and self sufficient, and since her husband could get them on the school bus, she said she'd be happy to cover those nights I need help.  Obviously I want to compensate her for this and when I asked what she'd be interested in charging, her response was "oh whatever you want.  This is just some extra spending money for me".

So help!  I have no idea what to pay her.  $100 a night seems like a lot since she's sleeping the majority of the time  but $75 seems cheap.
