Housekeeper Rates

[Anonymous]

What would the going hourly rate be for someone to come to my house for about 2 hours every afternoon/evening to tidy up an prep dinner (chop veggies, etc)? We live in bethesda. Thanks!

I don't know, go ask on the Housekeeper forum.

Why when someone hears "nanny" do they think housekeeper is the same thing, or close enough?

Usually people post housekeeping related stuff in the "off topic" forum, at least that's where I've looked for info and seen various postings at times. I'd answer your question if I could but I have no idea. Am curious as well, though...

We pay $15 an hour for 10 hours of housekeeping a week. She comes twice a week, cleans, organizes, and laundry. You should be able to get someone good for well under $20. Try care.com.

Perhaps because they are the same thing...

1. There is a search for housekkeepers only on the nanny forum board.
2. Appropriately, there is no nanny only job search the job postings are mixed with different level of housekeeping responsibilities.
3. All nanny jobs involve some degree of child related housekeeping and most nanny jobs involve non-child related housekeeping.

Families who have professional nannies also have professional housekeeping services.

That is standard expectation in the nanny industry.

Wrong forum. Nannies are to raise your children, not chop your vegetables.

Unless of course she wants to learn/practice her culinary skills during her spare time.

No parent has ever ask me to perform their personal housekeeping duties. You are grossly mistaken.

Once your kids are in school, the nanny either does more housekeeping/errands during school hours or quits to work wih a family with younger children.
