Also, do you pay for car fare?

Just spoke to one who’s asking for 15 an hour plus five for transportation- is that what you’re paying?

Yes that’s the minimum wage, so that’s what you should expect the requested rate to be.

For a full days work I wouldn’t pay car fare.
But if the woman is only coming for 4-5 hours then that’s reasonable and expected to pay.

You’re right.
For some reason I thought it was lower.
(Car fare drives that up though)

I do pay $5.50 for round trip public transportation when asked. My current lady didn't ask (she brings a bike). The one before I did pay as that's what she had asked for when she started working for me.

Great!
Thanks.
I need it so badly but figured I’ll ask before I book to make sure it’s a fair price.
Thanks to all that took the time to respond
(And come over for coffee when my house is clean!)

Minimum wage earners usually don’t pay tax.
Even if federal taxes are deducted they get it refunded on their tax return.
