Mother's Helper Rate
I am hiring a mother's helper to come for a few hours to entertain my 2 year old so I can get things done around the house. She will be either 14 or 15 years old. What is the going rate? I thought $10 but people have been telling me $7-$8 is enough since I will be home. What does everyone pay? TIA

Re: Mother's Helper Rate
My neighbor told me that babysitters get $10, mother's helpers get about 1/2 that b/c you're home and they're just there "helping" you. I would offer $6-8 since she's a little older than the average mother's helper (I think they're usually 10-14 yrs old)

Re: Mother's Helper Rate
I pay my teenage babysitter $10 while I work from home. I am not readily available to help her though. So I treat it as if I am not home.

Re: Mother's Helper Rate
Mine was 15 almost 16 when we started. The rate is $6. But I always give her more.

Re: Mother's Helper Rate
I would think $6-7 and round up when paying.
My sister is 10 yo and lives in West Islip, she is a great mothers helper
