Or, like a woman in one of my neighborhood groups who was looking for a “mothers helper”, Full-time who would do laundry, clean and help cook the kids and family meals.


OP here. Yes a real mothers helper. Just a 12 year old girl playing/reading/ occupying while I remain in the house.


For this (and I prep food and leave out paper plates/napkins) I pay $10/hr for an 8th grader. I’m home. She just plays with my kindergartner while I work on things like early dismissal days.


This is PP. FWIW I’m in Silver Spring and I pay $18/hr for HS, $20 for college, and $22-25 for adults for real babysitting when I’m not home and I expect cooking and to come home to a cleanish house (with the adult)

I think it depends on how kid will get to your place. Next door? I think 10$ is good. Drive or metro? Well at least 15$.

It won’t be an issue you won’t find anyone for that rate unless there are special circumstances.
$12-15


A tween shouldn't be paid minimum wage or more or they are greedy. I have a tween. Zero reason for that.


It's her time and you need her. Supply and demand.
