[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think it's too much, get estimates from new companies.  Then you can decide if it's worth it to start over with a new company or pay the increase and keep the current company.

But you've been using the same service for 3 years...in those 3 years do you think that the owner has provided an increase in wages for his housecleaners?  Raises do end up flowing downward to the consumer.[/quote]

We've been using our housekeeping service for 2.5 years... her quoted rate was $85, for every other week service.  We paid her $90 to start, were extremely happy, and bumped it to $100 at the end of one year.  The next year, we upped it another $10 -- so we pay her $110 every other week.  At Christmas, I give her a "gift" equal to one cleaning cost.

If you have been paying her the same amount for 3 years, I definitely think she's owed and increase.  everything else costs more, why not housekeeping? Also, do you really want to start over with having someone else come into your home?  You already know and trust her.
