Hello. I have been asked to do some overnight babysitting for a family locally. I will be staying at their house and looking after a 1 year old, who usually sleeps through the night or wakes once and is easily settled.

How do I know what to charge?

I won't be taking my DD with me - she would stay at home with DH probably. I am a registered childminder and have an NVQ 2 in early years.

As it isn't normal babysitting - I would be sleeping there - how do I work out what to charge?

surely you should ask her what she is willing to pay??

she has the ball in her court it would seem - but first decide what price you have in your head

Oh and she said she has a few other people interested so I need to get back to her ASAP - as I would be starting this weekend. But she said I was her preferance so far so if the price is right I should have the work.
