I would say to calculate it, more or less, you would add:

Dec 30th - 4pm-9pm (or whenever the last kid goes to bed) = normal hourly rate x (5) hours
+
Dec 30th/31st - 9pm-7am (or whenever the first kid wakes up) = overnight flat fee of approx. $100 (more or less as you like - it is a holiday trip so I listed the higher end of overnight flat fees, but anywhere from $50-$100 is average)
+
Dec 31st - 7am-1am = normal hourly rate x (18) hours


This, only add a premium for NYE hours. And possibly OT (or at least partial OT) for over 10 waking hours in a row.

OP here: I currently make $17/hr at one position and $16/hr at the other.

OP here: I forgot to mention that they aren't looking for a hourly rate. They asked what my overall rate would be for the 33 hours. Thanks!

I was emailed by a family who is looking for a nanny from 4pm on December 30th until 1am on January 1st for their two children (3 and 6). They are going out of state and are looking for a nanny to stay with their two children during that time. They have asked what I would charge for those hours and I honestly don't know what I should charge? I have never been in this type of a situation before so I am not sure what the normal rate would be for this? Any advice would be much appreciated!
