What do you think is fair pay per hour for this stuff, and would you pay someone to do it?:
1. Babysitting
2. Yard work like snow shoveling, leaf raking/blowing, grass mowing, etc.
3. Housework like laundry, cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, etc

I cant help with babysitting fees, however cutting and trimming a yard that takes about 1-1/2 hour runs a flat $25.00 minimum and $35.00 maximum.
Our house has 4 b/r's, FR, LR, DR, Kitchen 2 1/2 baths. It is cleaned every other week and takes the cleaning person 2 hours maximum. She charges $50.00 flat. I may add that there are only 2 adults living here and we keep the house neat at all times.

You would have to base this on the Pay Scale in your Area. I use to pay my Housekeeper who came once a week. $14.00/hour. Having someone Mow my Yard, well that depends on the size of the yard. Most people around here pay about $50.00 to get their Yard mowed and trimmed. As for Snow Shoveling, I live in the South and rarely see any Snow and if we do, it is normally gone as fast as it comes. Good Luck on your Business.

It depends on the state you live in and the minimum wage offered, as well as the age of the person you're thinking of hiring. Getting a teenager to babysit or shovel snow is different than a 40-year old gardner or maid. Can you provide more details?

BABYSITTING
I babysit and i get 7 dollars and hour. I think it is reasonable because 10 dollars is just to much.
LAWN WORK
If you want a young boy to do it (13,14) you could probably give him between 5-10 dollars for every job he does. the more money for the harder jobs like mowing the lawn.
HOUSEWORK
My family has a house keeper and we pay her 50 dollars every time she comes. this is what she does.
vacuum
sweep
mop
dust
all bathrooms
trash out
she does a really good job and it usually takes her 4 hours. you could probably find some one that is willing to do laundry too.
I really hope this helps you out!!

Babysitting. Approx. $10/hr, more or less depending on the kid and how many kids. Are there bottle feeding,diaper changing, kid with problems? Or is the kid older and more self sufficiant and your basicaly there for emergencies only?
Yard work, idk, my husband does it, we have paid a lawn man, $50/month(he mowed once a week,hedged,ect) If I ever end up single, Id probably pay a kid to do it.
Housework, I wouldnt pay for, unless I needed a very deep clean for a very big reason. Im talking shower mold, not vaccumming.
