Need some advice about how much to get paid for a job

Edited on Thu May-17-07 07:42 PM by Mind_your_head
A friend of my college-aged daughter was offered a six-week summer job tutoring three school-aged children who are below grade level in reading & spelling. There are also 3 very young children in the same family, for a total of 6 kids. The mom is/will be undergoing chemo-therapy for breast cancer during this time. The dad will be working full-time and there will be a 'grandpa' around to help with the kids as well.

This girl will be expected to (besides tutoring) do 'lite laundry' and fix breakfast & lunch for the kids. She will get room & board (although if she weren't living with this family to help them out, she would be living with her own parents and getting room & board). She will have 'car priviledges' on the weekends to go where she wants on weekends, but will be driving the kids around during the week. There will be an occassional baby-sitter during the week to help with the little ones.

How much do you think this girl should be paid?

Thanks for any info/insights/thoughts - she's asked me for 'advice' and I really just don't know how much she should ask for.

Peace and good wishes,
M_Y_H

on edit: maybe I posted this in the wrong place, but I need an answer fairly quickly (this woman if calling this girl every day and wants to get it all 'in-place'. That's okay, but she needs to know how to value that work. If you think I should post this somewhere else, please suggest. Again....many thanks for your consideration of my question.)
