Going hourly rate for housekeepers?

I have a housekeeper 2x/week. $42 hourly. I use about 10-12 hours of her time.

Maids work and housekeeping is a minimum wage job.

You spend $1k on housekeeping every week?! How messy is your house?

No. A stage is $60/hr.

Your math is off. $42 an hour x10 hours is $420 per week. Still a lot though.

Good luck finding someone for minimum wage.

Anyone have thoughts on where to find good housekeepers? Ideally, it would be someone who could come 2-3 times a week for a few hours a day and do a mix of house cleaning, laundry, food prep, and other daily tasks. So not really a job for a house cleaning team -- we would prefer a single person who we get to know fairly well.
