I have a high school student who comes from 8am-12noon on her PD days and once in a while in the summer and March break and Christmas break and I pay her $20 for the morning. She is using it for her volunteer time for her highschool which is mandatory in Ontario so we're keeping the $20 a secret but the children love her and she has a lot of fun. She doesn't have any responsibilities at all other than to play with the children. If I were going to hire somebody else I would probably expect to pay them at least minimum wage per hour.
