[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sleeping in your home is not my own bed. Plus, if I'm on-call in any way, I'm not really getting a solid night's sleep.

Unless it's your friend or family doing this for you as a favor (even if you pay them a token for their inconvenience), it can be really expensive.

Nanny would be in her own bed, in her own apartment.

Babysitter wouldn't be in her own bed, and would definitely be more inconvenienced.  On the other hand, babysitter generally earns $15 an hour when she's awake and working the whole time.  Relative to that, $14.75 an hour (which is what $200 for 14 hours works out to) seems like a lot for sleeping and studying.  If that's really the going rate, I might just pay her regular rate (which comes to $210) and actually have her work.  For example, I could have her do a movie night with the kids, giving me time to take a nice hot bath and read a book or something.

I think my own perspective may be skewed as a parent, because I've been "on call" every night for the past 19 years.  [/quote]
