@jmah How much she’ll pay depends on a LOT, including where she lives, the experience and education of the care provider, other household duties, blah blah blah. A great starting point for finding a regular PT provider is at a local college- suggest that she put up fliers in buildings that HD and education majors spend time in. Also, asking her friends and neighbor’s sitters or nannies if they know anyone who’s looking for PT work. Good providers often flock together.
She needs to figure out her budget, what the job actually entails (is she looking for a “don’t let my kid get too hurt and feed it” kind of sitter, or more of a Mary Poppins kind?). I’d recommend that she ask potential candidates how much they charge before meeting in person, and see what the general consensus is as far as how cost aligns with quality.
I know this is getting off of your original question, and I’ll shut up if you want :D
