Our regular sitter is going to watch our 2 yr. old from 1PM on a Saturday until 4PM the next day. How much should I pay her? I normally pay $20/day for summer care and $7/hour for primetime (evenings/weekends), but I'm not sure how much for overnight. Help...
$100 sounds good to me too. Your 2yr old will be asleep for half the time, and if you leave money for a pizza and/or movies (not sure if she's old enough to drive to pick movies up?), that should be fine.
I would give her at least $100 . I would talk to my husband if I were you and come up with a number that seems ok for both of you . I would then negotiate it with your sitter. Ask her what she thinks is reasonable. If it's lower than you think I would throw in a tip if she did a great job.Have fun on your night away !
I agree with Lisa's response...when I first read your post, $100 came to my mind as well. Plus it would probably be nice to leave money for pizza or something for dinner. Maybe just suggest the amount you are thinking & see what her reaction is. I'm sure you'll be able to agree on something fair & reasonable since she's your regular sitter. Good luck!
I would say closer to $150. The calc @ $7/ hour for 27 hours is $189. I don't think she should be paid $7 / hour for sleeping there, but the hours can't be wiped out all together, since she is there -- they do count!! Also, leaving money for pizza is a great idea!
