[quote=Anonymous]I do something like this right now because it fits with my health and schedule right now. I pick the kids up from school, do all of the unpacking and finding permission slips or other important flyers, feed them snack while I put away all their lunchbox stuff - this often includes emptying and loading the dishwasher - then we play for a bit, I usually either run a load of laundry or fold a basket and have the kids put it away, make dinner, get them PJd up and then quiet play until parents come home. These are the children of some good friends of mine; I'm in my 30s and both educated and experienced. I charge $23 an hour.

On the other hand, I also worked similar hours with school aged children while I was in college. I'd pick them up and supervise homework and then play with them. I think I charged $13/hr back then. I'm better at it now, yes, but I certainly wasn't incapable at 21.

tl;dr There is no normal/fair/average anyone will ever agree on because people are coming from all different situations and locations.

What you feel comfortable paying is what you should offer; if no one bites, you may need to offer more.[/quote]
