[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hourly or age flat rate? Duties would include: all bedding stripped (I would wash and dry the sheets they would just have to take them off) vacuum carpeted areas and sweep/mop floors. Clean kitchen and 3 full baths and one half bath. 4 bedrooms and large living rooms. Two story home. I would want a deep clean of whole house once a week. We have one candidate who is asking for $180flat. Another one is asking $25/h. Second candidate says house would take between 6-8 hours total. [/quote]

That is not a housekeeper, a housekeeper is a household employee. We pay a housekeeper to come daily for 5hrs a day, plus have a cleaning service as you describe come in and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks. Our housekeeper is paid $20/hr for 25hrs a week 52 weeks a year, however she has many stretches where she works less, or not at all (when we are out of town, she just makes sure it is clean when we leave). we pay into her social security as well, so she has at least some benefit later in life.

The rate is usually flat and it depends on how dirty your house is and how big. We only pay $120 every 2 weeks for what seems to be a similarly sized home. However our housekeeper keeps the homes very tidy (daily sweeping, home is not cluttered, kitchen and baths are always wiped down, closets are organized, she runs the vaccuum when needed...ect)[/quote]
