A foreign domestic helper must by law live in your residence. No exceptions given for small apartments.
Minimum wage for a foreign domestic helper is 3580 per month plus 770 food allowance. You may also provide food in lieu of the allowance, or do a combination. Typical working hours are 10-11 hours a day, 6 days a week.
I don't know the rates for local part time.
There is a book called "Hiring and Managing Domestic Help" which goes through pretty much all you need to know about hiring a helper.

it is illegal to hire a foreign domestic helper part time.

Just for clarity, part time helpers and live out helpers are illegal but commonplace. I'm not condoning it. I'm saying that it happens, so you're not confused if you have people telling you that they have these arrangements.
If you have a live out helper you'd be expected to pay her at least the min wage plus give her an accommodation and travel allowance.
PT rates are around $60/hr.
