[quote=Anonymous]I have several young children.  One of my children has a medical issue that can lead to sudden unexpected ambulance rides and E.R. visits.  On average, this happens about once a month, usually in the middle of the night.  Because of this, when my DH travels, I need to arrange to have someone else spend the night, so that I can accompany my child to the E.R. if need be.

How much would you expect to pay for each of these situations:

1) Live in nanny, with separate apartment, who is asked to stay home from the end of one work day until the beginning of the next (about 14 hours), and to be available by phone if need be, but wouldn't actually need to do anything other than be able to respond quickly in an emergency (e.g. keep phone on, don't get drunk)

2) High school or college babysitter who does not live in, but would stay in the guest room.  Would need to be in the home for 14 hours, and would be invited to join us for dinner and breakfast, but could choose whether to stay and be with the family, or to retreat to a bedroom to study or watch TV if they preferred.

Note: I am not talking about the rate if there is an actual incident.  In that case, I would wake the nanny or babysitter and let them know I was leaving. Nanny would need to move to the guest bedroom.  From that point, until they were relieved, they'd be paid either their hourly rate or their OT rate as appropriate, including for hours they were asleep.
