[quote=Anonymous]My nanny family is going on a parents-only trip and asked me to keep the kids in their home overnight. It will be a Saturday until a Wednesday, so 5 days and 4 nights. Never done an overnight before so I'm not she what to ask for in terms of compensation.

MB suggested double my normal weekly pay. My normal weekly pay is $600 for 40 hours (not in the D.C. Area, this is normal where I live) Does double that amount sound fair for 4 overnights? It's a 2 year old and a 7 month old, they both sleep through the night.

Also- this is just a temporary job that will last until the summer, so I'm not sure what to think about this: the entire family is going on vacation the week before I'm scheduled to do the overnights. They will be gone for the whole week so I'll be off. MB said that they wouldn't pay me for the week they're gone (even though I normally get paid when they decide they don't need me) because "since we'll be paying you double for the overnights, you won't be technically be losing any money if we don't pay you for the week we're all gone). Is this considered docking hours? It seems a little off to me. I feel I should be paid for the week they're gone as that's what we have always done, and I don't have enough notice to pick up a new gig for that week.

Thanks in advance. [/quote]
