+1. Our full-time housekeeper started at $20 an hour three years ago and is now at $24. She is guaranteed 40 hours a week with benefits.

Does your housekeeper also provide childcare?

How much supervision do you expect the housekeeper to provide? Just make sure your daughter arrives home after school and doesn’t leave again? It would they be expected to make sure she starts her homework, does chores, isn’t using the internet inappropriately, etc.? And what if your child is home sick? Do they have to monitor screen time, dole out headache medicine, check temperatures? Also, what will happen if your child is home from school on a day that the housekeeper was supposed to go grocery shopping? Do they leave your daughter unattended at home or do they not go to the grocery store, even if it means they can’t make dinner for that evening and you have nothing for breakfast the next morning?

The real observation to make here is that teachers are very poorly paid.

Teachers benefits are better - very good healthcare, 2 months off in summer, pension.

I don’t mean to derail the thread but someone like this would be amazing!

OP here. We’re thinking of $25 an hour/40 hour’s guaranteed plus benefits (holidays, vacations, healthcare stipend).

Am not positive - but $25/Hr for someone expected to do full housecleaning, all the grocery shopping + cooking, as well as laundry for a family of three along w/errands, etc. it seems a little low.

But other PPs can tell me if I am wrong here?

And Babysitting. I think you may find a taker at $40-$50 an hour.

This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen here.

I have to agree. I think it’s our resident troll. $52,000 a year plus benefits is more than most teachers make. And a cleaning and cooking job for just three people is pretty sweet with or without a 12 yr old home.

DP. It doesn’t really matter what we all think. The proof will be in whether OP can find a fully-time housekeeper and part-time housekeeper for $25/hour.

I’m sure she can, that is what we pay our housekeeper.

And around here teachers are practically paid poverty wages. That’s not exactly a helpful comparison point.

That’s 52k a year plus healthcare and vacations, PTO, and holidays. I can’t imagine how that is considered low!

+ 52,000!
