I was wondering if anyone knows the going rate for a mothers helper. I am going to have a 13 year old girl help me out with my 8 month old son next week and am not sure what to offer her. She will probably be with me 3-4 hours each day. THANKS!!

What can I do next?

i think you guys must all be rich cause min wage is $7/hr. Shoot i'ld never pay a 13 year old $100/week. $25-$40/week sounds better. i mean not as if completly babysitting. myself i think 13 is a bit young to help out that age of baby

I have to tell you, I have a 12 year old sister who comes over to help me with my four year old sometimes and she is completely thrilled with whatever I give her. Most of the time she only wants to buy nailpolish and candy anyway. I ususally give her 10-20 dollars depending on how good/bad my daughter was!

it really depends. honestly, in my opinion 7-8 an hour is fair without breaking the banks.

The rate for an unregistered daycare provider or babysitter is 2.88 an hour. I would say between 50 and 70 a week would be sufficient, beings she is helping you.
