Im hiring a decorator to help me, is $22.50 an hour a reasonable wage?

Sure! Where are you? I'm available.

that sounds quite lovely...

seriously where are ou located? I'm another one that is available!!!

I have been an RN for 14 years and I barely make that. Wow, I would work for you in a heart beat!!!

Where do you live? I have a possible relocation in mind.

That's really good! You'll find a good one in a heartbeat for that.

sign me up!

WHERE YOU LOCATED AT CUZ THAT IS MY DREAM JOB YOU WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY ME THAT MUCH

I usually determine how much to pay a cake decorator based on their skills. This person would have to be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeallly good! Not many places would pay that.

You should get a really good decorator for that price. Good luck

I would work for half that if it meant adult conversation and a break from playing mommy and house wife.

i think that would be the top wage for a highly experienced and totally capable decorator. It might be better for you to start out at about $10- $15 and then if they are that good give them increases at 6months and so forth. but again you didn't say where you are and if you are talking US $.

i agree with sweetcakes. i own my own buisness with 5 employees and none (including me) makes that!

(putting a flag on the play to see if this was a serious question.)

If the OP is serious. I am sooo up for it!!!

Where the heck are you located! And what kind of decorator are you wanting? I agree with the $10-$15/hour

I'd love to apply for that! I probably won't even make it since you are most likely looking for a very experienced decorator--which I am not, hehe.

?? What KIND of decorator???
To help you do WHAT ???
Sure it sounds obvious enough..... but you know what happens when one assumes!

rylan experience isn't necessarily all time based!! You got skillz brotha!

Going rate for a store decorater here is $14.00-$16.00 and hour...I think $22.00 may be too much.

what if the $22.50 is to decorate 5 cakes in an hour though?? then you go home?? lol

I recently had to hire someone to help me with a BIG project. She worked 2 days (16 hours) I gave her $200 and she was THRILLED! That averages to $12.50/hour which I think is VERY fair!

yes it was a serious question, I just have a problem paying someone $10-14 an hour because my first job back in 1982, when i was 17 I made $14 an hour at the local hospital,and I wouldnt work anywhere today for less that $25 myself. And to the RN how posted, I am in south bend, IN, most rn's here are at least making $18 an hour for entry level jobs.
I hired a gal for $18.50, I thought that was fair, and its just part time, roughly 20-24 hrs a week.

I just hope he/ she works out for you and is worth the wage you pay. Glad someone is hiring- congrats!
