As a result, the babysitter is spending the night at the house.
The kids (2) will be awake from 4:00 PM till 9:00PM and will wake up around 7:00 AM.
It will be eight hours with the children and ten hours with them asleep that she also can sleep in.
How much should this cost?
I want to make sure to pay her enough that she'll want to do it again but not too much as I'm slightly tight for cash.

Where are you located? I pay $20 a day for a private babysitter + food expenses. Some places it can be 50+ per day

If its like a professional service or something then yeah... its gonna cost ya like 2 bills.
the question is... how much do YOU love your children??
more money /= more love.
Paying more than $50.00 plus cost of food ANYWHERE in the USA and you will be spending too much. There comes to a point where you dont pay by the hour but by the job and this is definitely that situation.

ask the babysitter how much they would charge and tack on an extra few bucks.

Depends upon if the babysitter offers "extra" services after you get back

Some of you pay way too much for child care. Ours is $100 for a full work week of ten hour days.

Too much information...all that matters is someone is responsible for your kids and losing their time from 4pm to 10am the next day.
Sleep time and the like matter not. Saying they sleep 10 hours with a babysitter is pretty damn optimistic.
The most important thing is how much a babysitter is getting in your area, here you'd be lucky to find someone reliable for less than $15 per hour.
They may take on a large job like this for $100-200 though
To the dude that's paying $20 a day for a private babysitter WTF?!?! Who is going to work for so little?

By private babysitter do you mean harboring an illegal alien? I guess I just don't know anyone willing to work for $20 a day...day after day...reliably.
