[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pay for cleaning $70-80 per 1.5h. I am not sure if you can find someone willing to clean your house for $15-$20/h. If you do, please let me know. I will hire her too.[/quote]

You're overpaying if it really only takes 1.5 hours to clean your house for one person. $25-$35/hr (about $75 per average house) is more common.

Also, the difference is that a cleaner of that sort has to book many, many gigs in many different locations, collect from many different people, negotiate duties and terms with many different families, etc.. And she'd have a constantly changing roster of clients, some who want weekly, some bi-weekly, some only occasionally, etc.. A guaranteed income of, say $150/day with one employer and one commute is not such a bad trade off.[/quote]
Just because you see little value in professional housekeeping or childcare, doesn't mean anything to the rest of us.[/quote]

+1 We pay our cleaning lady $75/hour. She has multiple houses per day and ours takes her 2-2.5 hours most weeks.[/quote]
