If they work for some one else on the weekend, they will be paid about 13-15 per hour. So that’s one benchmark. Another is to Calculate their hourly rate based on their wages. I would pay them a bit more than their average hourly rate to keep them happy and take good care of my family

Yours is live in helper or part time helper? For live in helpers, if you require them to work on their off day, it’s $20+/day if i didn’t remember wrongly.

$30 or slightly more.. it will make her happy and she will also be more willing to work for you, like renewing her contract etc😉

Part time helper go by hourly rate, say around $15 per hour Full time helper go by daily rate, $25 per day sounds fair

Part time workers have rates on the hourly bases. It is around $15 per hour

Is it your own helper or part time helper? Going rate is $10 an hour

Per day rate and do the calculation to pay per hourly?

If she’s a full time helper - $25 is fine.

If it’s per hour, I feel it’s fine
