You Re cheating yourself. Unless you can leave the house, you should be paid your hourly rate plus OT as applicable. $100 for sleeping hours isn't even minimum wage.

Love the ongoing argument ridiculousness.

OP asked a question and got answers. Nannies aren't indentured servants - if you don't like the offer then don't take the job. If your employer asks what you charge for overnights then give your rate. Then the employer decides whether it's worth it or not. It's really pretty simple.

It was crazy expensive (but worth it) the few times we did it.

Oh, also - we always tried to give a paid day off to the nanny right afterwards. I didn't think it was reasonable to work a 10 day stretch w/o a break.

She is still working even if the kids are asleep. She's not working 10 hours, she's working 24/7 plus she's away from home.

Yes, but her job duties have materially changed during hours when the kids are asleep, and especially when she is asleep.

The job duties are not relevant. She's still on call an don't at home so $10 an hour or less is terrible.

Getting paid $10/hour to sleep? OH the horror!!

Are you willing to work for less than minimum wage at $10 an hour.

Wow.

$50 for overnight is not very much.

But she is charging hourly until 11pm. Are the kids up then?

She’s charging until 11pm because that’s her time. She can’t do a babysitting job with another family or see her friends that night. Hello?? I charge hourly until 11pm and the clock starts back at 7am. $100 flat rate for overnight.

You are paying her to be alert for be emergencies. If there is a fire and you are only paying her $10/hr, well maybe that isn't enough to risk her life to make sure your kid gets to safety.

Does she have to stay in your house when kids are asleep? If one of your kids gets sick in middle of night does she have to get up and tend to child? If there is a fire do you expect her to get your kids outside or can she just worry about her safety? $25/hr is cheap and if you can't afford to pay then stay home. Are you getting my drift? I will never understand why so many parents are so cheap about their childcare.

She is not sleeping in her home and she is working. How do you not get that. Stop being cheap or care for your own kids.

How do you not get that a job that allows you to sleep is hardly work and plenty of people accept an overnight fee under such circumstances?

Stop being a communist and telling people what they should do with their money.

If you can afford to travel you can afford to pay your babysitter or nanny well. It's really crummy to pay less than minimum wage when they are working and away from home.

Perhaps then she can do stuff in the house instead of sleep.

I get. $150 overnight or film rate awake and half rate while asleep with older kids
