[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are y’all actually insane?  It’s HOUSECLEANING.  There’s no childcare.  $25/hr is a $50,000 full time salary.  You do realize that college grads working at non profits in this area earn that, right? OP I pay $15/hourly for slightly less than ten hours/week.  I had zero problems locating someone on care.com.   She cooks and she’s not even my regular twice monthly cleaner.  [/quote]

1. $50K a year in 2020 is not a huge amount of money  - esp in the NoVa area. 
2. The assumption that a house cleaner is working 40 hours a week to cover a full salary is just that: an assumption.
3. Even if the housekeeper works 60 hours a week at that rate, it is with different clients; OP is not hiring the housekeeper full time.
4. IF I were a house keeper, i would hate to think that I would not be allowed to make more than $50K a year.

The comparison of a $50K salary qualifying a college grad or housekeeper is silly. You realize there are PhDs who make $50K, and college dropouts that make $500K?[/quote]

Do you have no concept of capitalism?  You’re “allowed” to earn whatever you want.  Your skill set and training make you valuable.  Lots of people can clean homes. It’s a low-skilled job.  The market doesn’t command a high rate for it.  There are a lot of people who can do it.  Anyway I don’t care. If op wants to pay 25/hour who am I to say boo.  $1000/mo for 2 hours/day of light housework sounds like a nice gig for someone. [/quote]

You sound jealous, the PP made a lot of good points about why $25/hr sounds reasonable [/quote]

I’m jealous that she wants the op to pay her housekeeper more than I pay mine? Ok sure.  I’m jealous.   [/quote]
