I'm using care.com to find a sitter/nanny for my newborn (starting at 6 weeks) one day a week in my home for 9 hours. My DH will also be home. The caregiver will need to help DH prepare his own lunch, but otherwise he is independent and can help by holding and feeding DS.

I'm looking to pay something in the range of $15-20/hr. We live in a Chicago suburb, not a super affluent area. What sounds like a fair rate for someone with experience with infants?

ETA: I also would expect the person to do dishes and laundry as time allows.
