AS others pointed out ask the people at the home who they recommend and have worked with in the past. My understanding is it's an hourly rate in the $12-15 range (this was pre-COVID rates) and most people start with 12 hour shifts. Whether it's to help them during the day while the adult kids deal with their responsibilities (jobs, family...), or they have the sitter be with them over night.
This is correct. If you're paying a family friend and there's no taxes involved, then probably $10-12. With a company, you have some protection against theft. With an individual, you do not.

Check with your local Council On Aging. We had assistance set up for my mom through them. They would come twice a week to aid in bating and once a week to help with light house keeping. All free, with a waiting list however. They also provided a list of sitters in the area. You would be responsible for vetting them. They were not affiliated with the Council on Aging.
