Ask what they've paid people in the past? Alternatively, ask people who've done similar things what they got paid?

200$/day isn't outrageous though I think.

I don't know...$200 sounds good but if you were to do that for a whole year that'd be like $60k+/yr. Is that how much nannies make?

yeah i'd say at least $1000 is fair. i mean you're literally living with them and giving up your life for a week, right? even if it is a bit like a vacay for you.

as for visiting, pretty much anytime, althought keep in mind that i have pretty much a 9-5 and sometimes more job during the week, so you would have to entertain yourself then. but weekends i should usually have free i think.

umm, i think amtrak would be cheapest, but it won't be that cheap.

When I did a lot of over-nites for this family i got paid my hourly for the hours I was awake/with the kid and then a flat rate for each night (like $30-$50). You should charge AT LEAST $1,000, if a week means 7 days thats less than $200/day.. I think you could go WAY more, I mean it's NY and if they can afford to stay there and you're giving them a whole week of your life..
anyways good luck!
