5 bucks an hour is standard these days. I tend to pay more if I am truly wowed by the job done, like if the house is clean and such.

Anywhere from $5-$8/hour would be a sufficient amount, I believe. Or you could discuss a flat rate you would pay at the end of the night.

I would say $30/day is fair for a high school student needing some extra cash. That comes out to be about $5/hr.
