Can anyone tell me what a reasonable rate per hr would be. thanks Julie www.howittgites.com    Report

Say you'll teach her English, then you can charge more.  You'll get a better hourly rate overall if you're paid cash in hand, but if you're paid in cheque d'emploi you're declared and are building up points for whatever they build up points for. One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.    Report
