Welcome David! 
 
What is reasonable and what they want are 2 different avenues too.  Also depends where you live (rural vs urban) and if they are just an aide or have some training (like CNAs).
 
It seems $7/hour is appropriate.  But here in Tucson ... NO ONE will work for less than $10 even under the table!
 
I lived in the D.,C. Metro area briefly (never will again).   NO ONE there would work under $25!  It is insanity!
 
But from the small town I lived in for 35 (of my 40) years... $7 was about right.
 
Alot of aides have delusions of grandeur!  And do every background check on them imaginable!
