Hi, The need has arisen within our family to hire a home help for one hour in the mornings for our mother who has recently had a stroke. We intend to start looking for somebody this week but have no idea of the hourly rate to offer. Any ideas, anyone? We're in the Cork City area.

€10 an hour? Are you having a laugh?

If you mean someone to come in and tidy,clean etc. for an hour a week, you're probably talkin €20-30 per session.

Best of luck to you & your mum.

IIRC the Eastern Health Board pays €10 per hour for home help
