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?

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

Yeah. I can see that

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

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

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

That is what I found to be the going rate.

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

I agree, just not at the same rate.

If you ask them to name their price

Then you’re paying too much.
Mr. Belding

How many kids do you have?

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

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

I would pay more than I thought was necessary just to
