Mommy's helper- how much would you pay?

We were just offered a babysitter and a mommy's helper.  I'm seriously considering taking her up on the mommy's helper to start with--- what would you pay a 14 year old to do that??

Re: Mommy's helper- how much would you pay?

  • What's does a mommy helper do ? And for how long?

  • It's basically an extra pair of hands and eyes in the house to help take care of/entertain the kids so you can get things done.  Sorta like a mini-nanny, maybe?  It'd be whenever I needed her- like maybe once a week or twice a month or something like that. 
    We're thinking it would be great for her to entertain the kids and keep them out of my hair so I can do some painting in the house/cleaning.

  • I've made (and make) $10/hour for babysitting generally, which is pretty much the going rate.  Considering you'll be home and she's 14, maybe do $8/hour?
