This is a global forum so we can't really answer your question, but you can join Nextdoor.com and ask that question to actual neighbors in your community and you will get lots of input. Or, look on Care.com for your area providers to see their hourly rates. Someone privately hired will probably have a lower hourly rate than someone who comes from an agency but that's because the agency performs other tasks and accepts liabilities that a private aid usually does not. And a lot depends on whether you're in a rural, suburban or urban area, and what the current supply and demand for aids is.
