[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand the discounted “over night rate”.  If the nanny can’t leave and is responsible for the child, she’s working.  Why not pay her usual hourly rate?  [/quote] because we are sleeping. I’m not going to charge $20 an hour when I’m
asleep. The flat rate covers the inconvenience of not being in my own bed. OP I would charge hourly until 11pm and again at 7am. $75 flat rate for the overnight part. [/quote]
1. I charge the same for family (ones who ask repeatedly, not the one-offs I offer), friends and others.
2. I want to know what the situation is when I walk in, so I can plan accordingly.

If they tell me ahead of time that their children sleep through the night, they pay the overnight rate.
If they tell me ahead of time that I will be waking up, I charge my hourly rate.
If they tell me kids sleep through, then I’m up for something other than a child vomiting everywhere, I charge both.

I’m crystal clear on my policy, and nobody quibbles.[/quote]
