So this is not family? Why are you doing this??? Since you are starting training in the next bit, ask them at the school. Certainly it will be related to what you do, what your qualifications are, how much work you are dealing with, ie her behaviours, etc.. All of this stuff is taken in to consideration, including where you are living. We all have different rates of pay, coast of living, etc..
Your instructors, or the program head, should be able to give you a good idea of what you should be getting paid based on all of the above.
Good luck, sounds like you have your work cut out for you!!
