[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minimum wage in DC is $17.50. I think $18-20/hour for a high schooler watching two kids is reasonable. If she's a ninth grader you can offer $15 and plan to go up a buck each year if she works out.[/quote] OP here. How would you differentiate between mothers helper and babysitter? [/quote] I wouldn't. But I think of mother's helper as a trial period (having the kid around while you're in the house, you can see if she's capable of running things for a few hours while you're gone). If you're thinking of mother's helper as a longer term arrangement, like you'll continue doing that 8 hours a week whether or not you ever use her as a babysitter, then maybe offer $14-15 for that and more for actual babysitting when and if you graduate to that.[/quote]
