Housekeeping help - rate of pay

Hokey-Pokey
By Hokey-Pokey

Hi, we are just new to Doha and are looking to have someone come into our home to clean house 2 or 3 times a week, and we would like to know what is the normal rate to pay for this service. Do people normally pay on a per day basis and if so, should this include transport? We want to be fair and pay the going rate, but not overpay. Is there anything else we should be aware of in doing this?

if you had a live in housekeeper, it would be 600-700 a month (however you include food, accommodation and bills)

The going rate is 20QR per hour. Plus transportation costs.(this used to be 10QR a day, but since taxis prices have recently gone up, this needs to be adjusted as well.) I have someone who comes for 4 hours 2x a week. I pay her 250QR a week as she is trustworthy, reliable and a hard worker- that's not always easy to find here.
