top u $ for caregiver

hi, currently i’m giving my mum money monthly ever since i started work. she says she will help to look after my baby after i go back to work. what is a reasonable amount of $ or % to top up for her labour? i have also employed a maid as don’t want her to overwork. so part of my monthly budget is already spent.

Exact amount depends on discussion with you and hubby and you and your mum. If u already have a good relationship with her, be open to such discussion, I believe your mum would appreciate your heart to provide more for her expenses. Just a thought, if she commutes to your house daily, give at least enough to cover her commute and food if she has to eat out as she isn't able to cook on her own.
