If you can guarantee that your children will sleep through the night, I do a flat rate of $50-100 (depends on number/age of kids) to cover 8 sleep hours, ending whenever they usually wake up.  If you can’t guarantee that, but you THINK they’ll sleep through, I let you know that it’ll be flat rate of $100 if they stay asleep and hourly if I have to get up with them.  And if you know they wake up, I appreciate the heads up, but you’re still paying hourly.

My hourly rate varies between families based on number and age of children, duties, etc.

For a family with one 6yo (6 pm Sat -noon Sun) and no cooking or other duties, they would pay $20*4 (6-10) + $50 + $20*6 = 80+50+120=$250.

For a family with toddler twins and an older child, who need me to cook 2-3 meals (same hours), they would pay me a minimum of $25*4+$100+$25*6=100+100+156=$350.

If the family is going to gone 24 hours or more, I set a flat 24 hour rate, regardless of whether kids sleep through or not.  For a family with up to three kids 5yo or older, it’s $300/day, $350 for 4+ older kids.  For a family with any child under 5, it’s $350 for 1, $400 for 2, $450 for 3 and $500 for 4+ kids.  I assume I will be cooking, possibly doing laundry if they’re gone long enough.

If a parent is going to be unreachable and/or out-of-state, I insist on having authorization to start emergency medical treatment.  Without that paper in hand, I’m not staying with your children.[/quote]
