I asked a friend of the family's if we could hire her to stay with my kids for 24 hours while I go away with my husband. She's a single girl in her early twenties. I'm clueless how much is reasonable to pay her, and when I asked her, she too had no idea. What do u think is reasonable?

How many kids and how old? (Is it likely she'll have to be up at night with them or are they past that stage?)

I always have paid the same hourly rate, even for overnight sitters.

Obviously it depends on how many kids - very different if it's 1-2 or 4-5 or 8. But assuming the kids are not in school at this time of year she'll be with them non-stop.

My friend won't be getting up during the night with them. There are three children ages 14, 10, and 8.

An overnight sitter around here is $100-150.
If its for 24 hours I would say at least 240. 10/hr. even though she is not awake she is responsible and will not be sleeping the same as she would at her own house.

I think she is worth her weight in gold.

Often night hours (after 9? 10?) are more expensive. Like 8 euros to 10 euros.
