New Years Eve Babysitting

[purplehat]

Is anybody working on NYE?

Good friend is a nanny and has been offered some work but been told to 'name her price'. What do you think would be a reasonable hourly rate?

Ta in advance

I'm hoping to!! Depends where you are, I'm hoping to charge £10 before midnight, £15 after. I'm in the north east

If London £15 - £20 ph is not unrealistic.

Usual is £8 - £10 on a normal babysit eve so to double it is not uncommon.

I charge triple rates just because of the date that it is and would rather be with my family and friends but will babysit if triple my normal rates.

I do normally charge double rate after midnight and on bank holidays anyway.

Its about what she is happy to work for some people would be happy with £10 an hr on NYE whereas thats my normal rate.

i get asked often and always say double my usual rate of £10, so £20 and parents happy to pay this

but as i dont want to work, i find them a reliable friend of mine instead who is very happy to earn lots of £

Thanks everyone- very helpful.

She called them half an hour ago suggesting £20 per hour and they said they would like to pay her £25 per hour if she is in agreement with having a friend's 5 year old as well.

I'm almost considering working myself!

are use mad? im a childminder and have a life outside of wrk and would never dream of working new years eve. i dont even think my parents would consider asking me to babysit

I'm home wih my kids- maybe I should take in a few more lol.

I've been offered £30 per hour to babysit from 7pm till midnight but its at least a 2 hour drive away and frankly I don't fancy driving back while everyone is enjoying themselves.So if anyone wants to do it in the new forest its theirs!!!!!

xoxcherylxox new years eve means different things to different people. No I'm not mad
