How much do you pay your housekeeper?

[CDMA ENG]

[quote=sdduuuude]Great question.
I find it is very hard to find someone who both shows up consistently and can clean properly. Probably cuz I was trying to be cheap on the rate.

I let my wife choose the housecleaner and she took a “whatever it costs” approach and we finally found a pretty good one. So far a “10” on reliability and about a 7.5 on the cleaning.

I once had a “10” cleaner who was about a 4 on reliability. Wow did she know how to clean, if only you knew when she was gonna show up.

Anyway, we pay $80 for the day. One day every two weeks. The day includes two ladies for about 3 hours each. Our house is small – roughly 1750 sq. ft. 6 hours of work goes a long way in a small house.

They use all of our supplies and vacuum. Occasionally they will bring something special if they know they need it and we don’t have it.

We like the “forced tidying” mentioned above. It makes us keep the clutter down, and gives us a good reason to get the kids to do the same.[/quote]

Your wife only pays you $80 per session?!?

I’ve never hired a housekeeper, did some bartering with one once, boy was she good. Networked her home computers for a couple hours of work @ my place. This thread reminds me once when I was at a house in Pt. Loma I saw a questionably legal woman who was made to remove the electrical outlet covers and clean behind them. Whatever she was being paid was not enough and I thought that was just weird, and slightly dangerous.

On a somewhat related note, the family dog is getting on in years and is starting to look a little droopy around the eyes. He’s definitely due for a little doggy plastic surgery maintenance. Who do you guys recommend for pet plastic surgery? My wife had her cat done a while back by a pet plastic surgery specialist who did a fine job, but he’s since retired.

Any recommendations? Our dog just needs a little tightening around the eyes.

Yes, but for me that works out to roughly $1000 per hour.
