Help knowing what to charge for overnight babysitting?

[needtodohousework]

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?

Yeah, of course I was. I'll take the option to sleep until such time that I need to get up and go to work (or go home if Fri or Sat night). You feed the kids, put them to bed, and I'll show up at 9:00 which would give me just enough time to go home, see my kids, and pack for my overnight between my day job and this overnight job.

However, I have no childcare qualification to offer, except for a CRB.

How old are your kids?

BTW, I call my service "Aunt Athene's boot camp." and expect them all to leap out of bed and line up according to age and rank in the hallway when I blow my whistle.

Where are you days of the week? I know somebody near there too!
