Q: I was mothers-helpering for my neighbor. I had no clue how much she should of paid me. When she gave me the money, I felt she over paid me. One time, for just an hour, she gave me $8. Today, for just 45 min, she gave me $6! Is this too much? (Mothers helpering is when you watch the kids while one of their parents are home) The kids didnt really require that much. There are 2 of them (one 1 year old and one 4 year old.) How much should she pay me per hour?


Also... when I babysit them.. how much should she pay me?
She can pay you whatever she wants.
Minimum wage (hourly) here in California is $6.75, you should ask someone what your states minimum wage is. But I dont think she overpaid you at all, dont feel bad about it...if she didn't want to give you $8 she would have gave you less =)

Thanks! (Minimum wage her, in PA is $5.15 I think. Haha)
