[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The helper came to my house this morning, I paid $5 for a little over an hour, and it was the best thing I've done in a long time. Should have done this eons ago! Thanks all for the ideas. --OP[/quote] Glad it worked out! Being a mother's helper is a great way for preteens to experience being given an age appropriate amount of responsibility (by someone other than their parents), gain self confidence. Kids also really start appreciating the value of money -- & the fact that it really [i]doesn't[/i] "grow on trees!" -- when they are earning that money themselves! I'm also happy you didn't take advantage of the kid by paying her 1980 wages as some PPs suggested. IMO, $5/hr was a reasonable & fair amount to pay her. [/quote]
