[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you're describing is similar to the role of a "domestic helpers" in Hong Kong or Singapore but it doesn't exist here (and arguably shouldn't exist there). It's total drudgery and no one wants to do it. If you're very lucky, some nannies are happy to pitch in with cleaning up after meals and maybe kids laundry but they're not cleaning the full house, nor should they if they're trying to do a good job caring for small children.

Do you really need daily cleaning? Have someone come 2-3 times a week and then hire a separate nanny who is focused on caring for your kids. [/quote]

Why shouldn’t these roles exist? They are awesome. [/quote]

How much are you willing to pay?  For a guaranteed $1000.00/day, I would do it but only one day a week for 8 hours only and you would like not be allowed to interact/interfere in any way.  [/quote]

Getting paid $125/hour? Ahahah ok. OP get a cleaner for $100 and a nanny for the 3 hours or so you need childcare for. It will cost $175 per day. And honestly you don’t need a cleaner every day. We have someone once a week and it’s enough. Twice would be perfect, but it’s not in our budget.[/quote]
