When we were on vacation my 8 year old across-the-street neighbor, Madison, came to our house every day and 1) brought in the mail and 2) watered the plants on the deck. It wasn't a huge job. It couldn't have taken her that long. We only had a few plants on the deck.
She did it from Saturday to Saturday. Actually, she did it Saturday to Thursday, then her mom came over and did it because she went to camp. I'm going to get her mom a gift card to Panera. How much should I pay Madison?
I paid our 10-12 year old neighbor $40-60 for a similar, although ickier, service (feed the cat, clean the catbox) depending on the length of time. I think $40 is more than fair.
