How much to charge for working overnight New Years Eve?

[allgonebellyup]

i am a nanny and have been asked to work overnight for NYE for my current family, with my own child who will sleep there too.
i normally earn 7.50 an hour but as this is night time and unsociable hrs, what should i charge??!

double at least.

Really?
So £15 x 12(hrs)= £180 .. i cant charge that much!?

i am working the whole of the daytime too, so will be there 24hrs.. that would be around £200 altogether?

If they were to get a babysitter to do it they would have to pay a lot of money, especially as it is overnight so why not? They need you more than you need them!

I'm a Childminder and charge £70 a night overnight care at my house and that's a normal night. If they wanted me New Year's Eve then that would be at least double or I wouldn't bother.

We pay our (live out) nanny £75 for an overnight stay (sole charge), and would fully expect to pay double for NYE....

Do you normally live out? Not sure if rate would increase or decrease in view of having your own child there too? Inconvenience for your LO spending the night away from home, but normally for 'shared care' you'd expect to pay less.

Im charging £100 for overnight on new years eve...Im a qualified nanny with 10yrs exp btw I normally charge £75 for an overnight so I think Im being pretty reasonable.

i work new year/hogmanay and i get double time

go for it

i get paid doulbe time between 8pm and 8am, if that helps

sitters (www.sitters.co.uk) charge £12.50 per hour emas eve and new years eve

thanks for the messages.

ive got a feeling that they will make me an offer, and if i say no then they can get her mother to babysit anyway, so for that reason i am scared to ask for too much money..
if they dont make an offer i may just say £100 for the night?

If you are happy to do it for £100 then do it for £100 personally NYE means too much to me to do it for that tbh but then I won't work NYE no matter how much money!

On nannyjob they are offering £10-15 per hour for NYE and thats in Leeds.

well i might say £150 then..

I've always worked NYE, never live-in, charged £6 hour. But in Cornwall, so no relevance!

Traditionally, holiday pay is triple pay. You'd probably only be able to charge this during your waking hours though, and perhaps chip off a bit for looking after your own child.

I don't think it is unreasonable to charge £200. If you think that a normal evening might be £35, the overnight hours plus the holiday could easily multiply this several times over.

Negotiate - but start high, and see if you can get lucky.

We pay £125 for an overnight for our live-out nanny for a normal weekend (8pm till noon the next day, and would expect to pay double for NYE. That's on a par I think with rates in South-east/London.
