Overnight Babysitting

[OneMinute]

Curious how people pay babysitters if they are staying overnight. Do you pay the same rate for when the kids are asleep? Flat rate?

We have paid a flat rate of $250/day regardless of whether the day is simple or filled with carpool duties or is a Sunday Monday or Friday, etc.

Prior to this rate - we vetted with 4 other families who say the same.

We recently used the Bambino app and paid hourly for the entire weekend because we were in a bind! I talked to a friend that is a nanny and she said she normally charges hourly while the kids are awake, and a flat fee of $75-$100 for overnight. But I love the idea of $250 a day flat rate mentioned in the response below!

We pay hourly for the hours kids are awake and then a flat fee of $75-$100 each night for overnight.

We used to pay per hour rate during "awake" hours and then a flat rate for the over night portion. Too much math required for that haha. So for years we have landed on $250 per 24 hour period. Easy Peezy.
