So I said she should set her rate Bc this is a real job! I'm pretty sure she is 14-15 years old. I am expecting to pay 10/hr (maybe less) but will ask her when she leaves :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971307 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:45:33 +0000 78h2o 1971307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: Thanks! I will have to find out what rates are like in my area.<br /> @BandDmommy: I would so pay $10-$15 for a nap right now! I need to get on this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971282 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:33:13 +0000 Jess1483 1971282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The question wasn't directed at me, but my (13 year-old) mh suggested $4/hr. I do $5, and then if she starts doing more really sitting eventually , ill up it. But cost of living is low here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971277 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:31:06 +0000 travellingbee 1971277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I am so going to do this in the summer!! Yes how much are you paying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971275 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:30:31 +0000 BandDmommy 1971275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one here right now. I'm about to shower and maybe nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971270 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:29:14 +0000 78h2o 1971270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Out of curiosity, how much are you paying the mother's helper? I should totally look into doing the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971238 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:17:55 +0000 Jess1483 1971238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do some work, pay bills, write thank you notes, do little projects, and I almost always make a bigger meal that night, since before dinner is his hardest time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-a-mothers-helper-around#post-1971224 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:13:08 +0000 winniebee 1971224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hired a high school aged daughter of my husband's work colleague to help out 2 hours in the afternoon one day a week to help with our 2.5 year old. We have another baby due any day and I figured it would be helpful for me to be able to get a few things done around the house, maybe an errand, maybe start dinner. </p> <p>What do you do while your mother's helper is around? </p>
