How much is the going rate for after-school babysitting plus meal prep? No real housekeeping (I prefer to do my own daily picking up, and have weekly cleaners). And what kind of hours should I offer to make this attractive?[/quote]

People on here have posted in that past that offering $25+/hr  still didn't get them reliable people.

I'd think about the type of person you'd want to hire, and what do you think they would need to make them apply for your job?  I mean, if you are offering $15/hr like OP, for 15 hours per week (3 hours, 5 days per week) that's $225/week.
No one can live on that, of course...so you're basically seeking:

A) a person with another part time job in the mornings--[i]so if their first job ever needs them to stay late, or decides to change their hours to full time, etc.  you'll be on the back burner[/i]

or 
B) someone who doesn't necessarily "NEED" the money, but is just doing it for spending money (like a college student.)  [i]So if this person doesn't need the money, they won't have much incentive to go to your house one afternoon for $45 if something more fun comes up, like going to a movie or lunch with a friend.[/i]

or 
C)  Someone that actually needs a full time job, but hasn't found one yet.  [i]So they are going to keep looking for full time work, and drop you like a hot potato once they find it.  [/i][/quote]
