How much would you pay someone to babysit overnight, includes picking kids up from playgroup, giving supper, putting to bed and getting them out in the morning, for two nights and three days?

Minimum $200-$250 a day so if you’re doing 2.5 days minimum $500 up to $650 , depending o n what the second “day” entails (like are you coming home when the kids are in school and picking them up… or are you coming home when they’re already in bed and babysitter did bedtime etc )

Pick up kids at 3 , take care of them until they are sleeping, get them out in morning and back to pick up at 3. Third day stay until 8 pm

you are asking for a lot. if it’s a family member $125-150, anyone else, it’s gotta be more.

$800-1000
You’re basically asking somebody to work for 60 hours. It’s a big job.

I would say at least $600. If someone good charged that I would say it’s a good deal. If someone asked $750-$1000 I would think it was fair.

So if there's 3 kids it would be 750 a night? You know that's what people get?

If you raise the price to $1000, you know your Diamonds will be watched like her Majesty and that is what you want and need. Things come up even with the $ the children can fall, and cry but you know the couple will watch them well, and you can be more relaxed as well. Pay them well.

Please please please research your babysitter well

I left my kids with overnight babysitters a few times. Last time my flight came in late. I was supposed to be home by 8am but I wasn't. So the babysitter left my kids at home alone and went to work.

She did not call any of the zillions of emergency contacts I gave her, she just left them alone.

My kids had told her they'd be fine. But seriously, if I thought an 8 year old was old enough to be alone herself plus watch her younger sibling I would not have hired an overnight babysitter.....

I've paid 200-250 a night, but I'd have assumed that the prices went up a bit (like everything else in life)
