When I had a sub in the past, I would pay her $10.00/hour, or a $20.00 minimum if it was for just a short time. I try to not have a sub anymore, more try to plan appointments as late in the day as possible and then close early. I found out that she mainly sat on the couch and read while the kids ran wild around the house. She figured she was just there to make sure nothing major happened. I'm sure good help is out there, but when you only need them occasionally, it's kind of hard.
