Babysitting

[Rebecca41]

Quick question about babysitting costs.

I have a nanny who looks after my children during the day when I'm at work.

Evening babysitting is not in her contracted hours, but she said she's more than happy to do evening babysitting if she's not busy.

So my question is, how much do nannies usually charge for this? Is it the same as the daytime hourly rate? Or more (antisocial hours)? Or less (kids asleep so less work)? I know what my nanny charges but I just wondered what the norm is.

When I babysit i charge two pounds an hour less than the nanny rate.

I charge the same - but I'm not well paid

I get £8 during the day and £7.50 in the evening for babysitting .[Elsewhere I charge £8 for Babysitting]

I am not a nanny, but work in childcare, i charge £7 an hour for babysitting, but have been known to charge £8

I charge a little more for babysitting than for nannying, because it is giving up my evenings be it weekday or weekend. I don't mind putting the children to bed etc and I don't charge a min number of hours.

i charge the same rate whether daytime or evening as it is still my time

I am a nanny I get £10 per hour, when I baby sit for them I still get £10 per hour.

I would charge less but the children are always up and about so my duties don't change, it's not like I can sit in front of the T.V eating Hob Nobs whilst they sleep, I am running around, bathing them and making sure they don't kill each other just as I would be during the day.
