We are working with the same cleaner for many years and she was coming with 3 of her friends, 4 people cleans the house in 2-3 hours and I pay her 300 dollars.

Recently, we decided that this cleaning twice is not enough for our needs-we are working full time and have two young kids. So we hired a housekeeper from care.com. She said her rate is 20 $/hr, but after the first cleaning she said thats too little and asked for 25, we said ok. The arrangement was for her to come 3 times a week and do cleaning and laundry as well as some organizing(fridge). Then she asked for a fixed 140$, we said ok. Now she is asking 150$ for two floors at a time. What is the going rate for housekeepers? 
We have a large house but have some unused rooms so not every room needs cleaning each time.

We have a full time nanny and I feel like she is not doing enough. She is not cooking for the baby, or doing anything in the kitchen. BAny suggestions?[/quote]

You have a bargain.  A housekeeper generally does not clean but is responsible for running the house.  I have a cleaning woman come every two weeks and she is here 3 hours and I pay $225.00.
