You’ll have to do a thorough analysis of your expenses and desired profit as they relate to the tasks you have to perform. Will you have to do any of her laundry? Definitely have to provide meals 3 + snack or two. Will she just sit in front of the TV all day or will you have to take her outside for a walk/ride. Trips to a doctor? Insurance?.
If you could get about $100 per day (includes all services) you should do well. Remember you are giving personal care, not general care for a large group.

You should probably talk it over with her. Just for a guide, when I was taking care of my mom a friend of mine would help out when I needed her and I paid her $50 a day to go over there 3 times a day to help her with dressing and fix her meals. She went over there, did not stay. Caregivers such as a CNA get about $15 per hour in my area, north central Illinois.

This should depend on how much care they need within that 24 hour period. For minimal care and 3 meals i charge 75 for 24 hours, but unlisc. usually charge around 40 i believe.
