[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Monday 12-6 (early dismissal school)

Total 30 hours per week

Laundry, tidying up, dishes, pick up son from kindergarten, give him a snack, fix dinner 2-3x per week.
Thorough deep clean every 2 weeks.

Is $500/week reasonable for 30 hours per week?[/quote]

I think you could easily find someone for a fair rate for everything OTHER than for the deep cleaning part. Sorry, but most people that would want to take this position will NOT want to deep clean for you. You are better off hiring a separate cleaner to come in once every 2 weeks to do this, and someone that comes for the childcare and basic child-related cleaning throughout the week.[/quote]

I agree.

OR, offer the deep cleaning job to your nanny but as a completely independent job that she is paid for separately (basically you'd be hiring her to do what your cleaners do, and probably at the same rate they charge - you could negotiate to make it a little lower if she did it during regular nanny hours, or pay her the full rate if she did the deep cleaning as an extension of one of her days).[/quote]

OP here. It sounds like we should keep a similar set up then. We currently have different people doing a deep clean.

Our current nanny/housekeeper is great but she absolutely does not do bathrooms and also does not like to take out trash. She is good with laundry, cooking and cleaning the kitchen and toys. She used to be 80% nanny/20% housekeeper but now she is more 80% housekeeper/20% nanny. She will watch our kids for a few hours here and there but not regularly.[/quote]
