How much should I expect to pay a babysitter to watch my kids for 1 week

$100 per day

That’s below minimum wage, even subtracting the hours they are at school.

Are you counting sleeping hours?

1/18/19 2:43pm

Yup. Unless she gets to go home in the middle of the night.

That’s a sweet gig. Most wives would make more than the national average

Except for the watching your own kids deal.

Right, I get that. But it’s silly to set watching kids pay higher than a regular

1/18/19 2:56pm

Yeah. I can see that

Full time at $26k/year is $12.50 an hour. Well above minimum wage

TCuz

At 40 hours per week it is, not if you count sleeping hours. Then it’s less then

1/18/19 3:05pm

Yup. But like I said, if a 24 hour nanny accepts 26k, she’s getting ripped off

TCuz

1/18/19 3:08pm

That is what I found to be the going rate.

1/18/19 3:17pm

Full time nannys, even live in nannys, do not have an obligation to the kids

I agree, just not at the same rate.

1/18/19 3:07pm

If you ask them to name their price

Then you’re paying too much.

Mr. Belding

1/18/19 2:45pm

How many kids do you have?

kccougar

Zero. Does having kids give you a right to be cheap or something?

TCuz

1/18/19 2:49pm

That’s not being cheap. You obviously are ignorant on this topic. I appreciate you trying not to be cheap. But you’re

It's not a real job, Alan Greenspan.

This is baseline if they're running them to school and all that.

What is the age and relationship?

I think $500 is fair, the going rate is probably higher. $10 per hour for awake

1/18/19 2:42pm

I would pay more than I thought was necessary just to

A bag of donut holes per child per day

1/18/19 3:17pm

$700 would seem fair to me, But I would also leave

$700

1k, minimum.

Me and my wife did this several times for a family before we had our own kids

How much would you want someone to pay your wife to watch 4 young kids
