Also, check with your local family daycare licensing laws. Shares are sometimes illegal.

I would expect at least $27.50, even for a long term nanny share. Three children from two families is a good amount of work, and more importantly, responsibility.

Nannies have every right to be appropriately compensationed for the level of responsibility they have.

Agree with $10 for one time babysitting.

Thanks for all the advice! $10 sounds fair to me as well

Also, even for a short commitment, ALWAYS please make sure to put your agreement in writing for them to sign.

This is very important.

I would probably charge $10 an hour for the extra charge. Since it doesn't sound like it will be an ongoing share, just additional babysitting.

It's always less complicated when you handle the finances directly with the parents, so you're doing it the right way.

I would think they'd be happy to pay you at least $10/hr. for your doing this big favor for them.

Children are 2 and 7, additional child is 8

Age of other child?

I'm babysitting next week for my usual family and their neighbor. I usually am paid $17.50/hr for the two little girls I watch but am unsure what to charge for the additional child. Any tips for the going Nannyshare rate in D.C?
