how much?
BS”D
A dollar a day. She doesn’t like it? Of course she doesn’t but she gets very scared when I utter the magic segula handed down by Reb Chenek’l Otisviller….”IMMIGRATION”…and it makes her run for her life before she even gets her dollar :))))).
Actually IIRC I paid about $7.50 an hour in Brooklyn and I don’t think it has gone up much.
7.50 is way below average.
They take $10 in brooklyn today, and I heard of some that already take more than that 🙁
7.50?! You guys get ’em cheap!! My The going rate where I live is 12 – and that’s for the new ones!!
It depends, how is her cholent?
600kilobear…
Does she have any free days available? I’m paying $10/hr!!!
(Or maybe your wife hasn’t told you what she REALLY pays???)
$10.00 an hour.
Well, since I’m married to my “cleaning woman” (and she’s also the mother of my children), what I “pay” is a whole lot more than the going rate.
Then again, I help her, and try to treat her like a person, as opposed to an employee. Come to think of it, I treat her like a partner.
Still, if you’d rather have a stranger poking around your house….
bpt – i totally predicted your response!
i pay 10. a while ago i was looking for a new cleaning lady, so i posted an ad on one of the local lists, and someone responded to me that for that price i was going to get someone not very good, and if i want someone good i need to be willing to pay at least 14.
BPT: I’m glad, I’m not your wife! LOL!
“totally predicted your response!”
I was going to say something else, but the Mods would have my head.
“I’m glad, I’m not your wife”
Seeing as she gets a 10 hour headstart on me each day, if she wanted to run, she could be across the globe by the time I got home.
She (like me) stays because its worth staying for. Uh oh, 6:07… gotta run!
My mother pays $10 an hour. I think that’s the usual going rate here.
I rather do the work myself but sometimes one needs the extra help. pay $10 an hour
$10.00 an hr
i would love a cleaning lady but for some odd reason my husband does the ichy stuff i hate. B”H for husbands! when pesach comes im getting one. the other day my husband tells me that at the beginning of march I wont be allowed to eat in our room anymore because hes going to clean it. i said thats wayyyyy before purim and we can wait till the end of march lol!
lol yogi- shhh! dont advertise! someone might cum one night and try to kidnap ur husband!! 🙂
Do you suspect your cleaning lady is stealing things?
40 shekel an hour
In Israel the going rate is 40 NIS, come to think of it I never heard of anyone paying more or less, that’s really the set rate.
Yes 40 shekels is the going rate.
ten dollars an hour…plus five for car service one way. worth every penny!
no cleaning lady here. can’t afford one, so I’m the cleaning lady. my kids do help though. my husband works long hrs but he helps when he can.
sometimes before Pesach, if i’ve saved up enough, i hire a service. talk about expensive!!!
s2021-he acame home from his shiur last night at like 1030 and only then started sweeping and mopping the floors! if anyone comes to steal him its not a problem as long as they pay him!
$0.
yogibooboo~ wow! impressive! my DH also came home from his shiur @ around 10:30 & so did NOT sweep & mop! I just did this morning (a little); our cleaning help began college & has a full time job so we’re looking for someone new, maybe her roommate. we also have a guy who comes into B’klyn from Newark (started off more as a handyman, now does everything), but he’s veryy undependable.
$10. an hr, plus transportation, & usually a tip.
Yogiiiii!! u dont even realize how lucky u r to posess such an incredibly rare and unbelievable gift! a MAN who HELPS!!! Please appreciate it!! 🙂
two words….BARUCH HASHEM!
$90/day; she usually takes 4 to 5 hours. She works for an agency which I think takes a cut.
that’s a lot! how many days a week do you need her?
Shouldn’t the question read “How much did you pay for your cleaning woman”?
It really is worth the investment to buy one upfront, instead of renting from someone else.
Popa! That is not funny. Slavery has existed, even in this country, and exists in many places even today. Your callousness towards their plight does not behoove you.
The concept of eved is in the torah. Don’t understand it? Neither do I. But it’s there.
popa
who are you quoting? i dont see anyone saying that to you.
Now I have to defend the people who are arguing with me also?
BS”D
$7.50 is from memory and I may be wrong – I last hired a cleaning lady in 2007 in the US and I do not know how long she worked. I may have indeed paid her what I remember paying her for fewer hours than I thought she worked.
It is time for Welfarian women to be bonded by the welfare department and forced to work as domestics if they want their benefits. Instead, we are compelled to hire illegal aliens because no American will work as a domestic in the NY area.
