When your English is poor, you lack education, you have no computer skills, and your background is housekeeping in El Salvador, then $16 an hour in Loudoun County is pretty good.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

With a little effort I bet you could talk that $16/hr down a bit even. I'd try for $14/hr.



Why would you be so obnoxious as to even suggest this? She's already underpaid at $16/hour and likely works her butt off. What you're suggesting is unfair and just mean. I feel sorry for anyone who works for you. Hell, I feel sorry for anyone who even knows if you these are the types of things you suggest.


I feel sorry for you that you think $16/hr is underpaid. For an illegal no less! That's more than double minimum wage, and the Loudoun County living wage calculation is $14.35........

You're a defective human. People without legal immigration status are still people. And their rent isn't less.

$20-25/hour for 20-30 hours a week. Less per hour if more hours.

We pay $22/hour plus driving (prob another $30/week) for 1pm-6pm, includes driving kids, household errands (2-3pm), homework time, cleaning parts of the house some days, laundry 2x/week, noting inventory levels, prepping/cooking dinner.

Sure, in a two income household I could make it on that...

A housekeeper makes considerably more than a babysitter
$30.00/minimum.

You should clarify how many hours a week she works (4 hours a day is different than 9 hours a day 5 days a week) and where you are (DC?)

Wow thanks for being so fair and providing your housekeeper what she needs to be happy with her job ( car, and good health). In my opinion $22/h should be a good at regular wage and $33/h overtime. Of course you could increase this if you feel like she is worth it.
