[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I cannot leave - I am working.  Period.  I don't get the whole "reduced rate for a sleeping child" thing.  If I am at your home overnight I am not at my own home and have to make arrangements for my dogs, kids, husband, cleaning, errands, etc.  I am not relaxed.  I will sleep but with one ear open for a child's cry.

I do not reduce my rate for overnight.  Never.

You are under no obligation to deal with every single cry and whine. You are taking a reduced rate to be there overnight incase the house catches on fire you can run outside with the child or something like that. It's a reduced rate because of the remote possibility of needing to do anything. I've done overnights with all kinds of families, I've had older kids wake me up and tell me they peed the bed and I just tell them to sleep on the couch and we will handle it in the morning (when I am back on the clock at regular rate.) I just have to know what the expectations are.[/quote]
