    It would be easier to report her to child protective services, where they can order drug testing.

    Most PI work on an hourly basis with rates ranging from $40 to 200 per hour depending upon the part of the country you live in and the PI experience.

    However you should contact Social Services if she is doing drugs while taking care of the children.
