Received a small leaflet.
.>> Local Part time Maid ....Hardworking, Trustworthy local maid... etc do household chores.... on hourly/weekly/monthly basis. Reasonable rates. Interested please contact 84521924 ...
So I rang and an asian lady voice was on the phone. I asked for the price for 3 hours .. and she gave me the sum $260 for a month. Got me shocked for a while. And she elaborate its 3 hours weekly so a month is $260. <<<
Currently there are part time maids for the rate of $10/hour that usually comes on a Sunday.
Mostly philippines and indonesian.
2 years ago:
Foreign Part time maid is $10 per hour. if four hours then it be $50 due to the stretch of work.
Now:
Foreign part time maid mostly are $10 per hour, some with a minimum of 2 hours. Now I got the info that some foreign part time maid request a minimum of 3 hours now with the price of $45 (which average is $15 per hour).
Local part time maid is $260 for 3 hours per week. which makes it average $22 per hour.
Indeed.. maybe majority find it $22 per hour is "reasonable rate" but I think it is a bit overpriced.
I guess the maid industry also catch up with the term of Inflation :)
ReplyDeleteya..... but $22 per hr... piangz... way to exp for a part time helper. well prob it is from like a agency so they charge "agency" fee rates lolz
