Mother's Helper help
Next month I'll be teaching so I can't be my usual half hour late to work 
In fact, I'll be working an extra two hours a day.
Mornings at my house are rough: J's up early and that's when I finish laundry, empty dishes, prep J's meals and tidy up along with an early AM nurse session and last minute pump session before I leave the door. D(opey)H sleeps through all of this 
For the month of July I was thinking of having someone come in from 6a to 8p to help with J so I can get out the door on time.
I'd like him or her to mainly play with J, but if he's napping, s/he can help with some light housekeeping. How much should should I offer hourly? I'd need someone for 8 hours a week for 4 to 5 weeks. Anyone have a referral? I have a HS student in mind, but I think she may already have a summer gig lined up
Re: Mother's Helper help
Thank you!
I think I'd pay more just because of the time of day. Most HS/college aged kids wouldn't be up by then so I think that waking up early deserves a little more, plus since its limited hours and only temporary you want to make it worth their while.
I'd probably offer $100/week, which would work out to a little over $12 an hour for 8 hours.
