Some agencies charge a minimum number of hours for each visit. If you ask for two hours but their minimum is three, this estimate counts three hours for that visit. The weekly cost includes those hours, your visits and hourly rate, plus any weekly fee. The two-week total doubles the weekly cost and adds any one-time setup fee. The monthly figure is an average based on a full year of weekly costs; it does not include setup, and your actual monthly bill may differ.
Example: $30 × 4 hours × 3 visits is $360 weekly, $720 over two identical weeks, and $1,560 for an average month.
Holiday or overnight premiums, overtime, travel, deposits, taxes, changing schedules, and cancellations are not included unless you enter them in the applicable fee. Ask which charges recur and which are refundable.
