What would you expect to pay for a full time or part time maid with sponsorship and without?

Many thanks

a no objection certificate which is what you need to have if someone is working for you that is sponsored by someone else.......be wary if you employ without one!

I pay more and offer some extra benefits but that's because my maid is an experienced professional and I expect to pay more for quality work.

No that is far and above what others are paying.

The top rate for a live-in is 1500QR a month with 1 1/2 days off a week. Anything above that and you are getting scammed.

It does cost more in the long run for a live-out, so determine carefully exactly how often you think you will need the services. In most cases it is cheaper to get a live-in. However then you have to "supervise" more and put up with sponsorship etc.

For example, I have a part-time cleaner who comes 2 mornings a week. I pay her 150QR each time (30QR an hour--she is great so I pay more---plus taxi fee). So each month I pay her about 1200QR for part time. I could have full-time for almost that amount. But I don't want to deal with sponsoring anyone, or have a stranger live in my house. Plus I am a firm believer in teaching my children to work and don't want someone picking up after them. So for me, I would rather pay more for a part-time cleaner.

It all depends on your family situation and what your needs are.

Great thanks.

What the going rate for live in or live out. Have someone asking for 2500 a month as a live out and 2 days off a week - is this around the going rate.

full-time is about 1500QR a month

part-time is 20-25 QR per hour plus you should pay her transportation fees.
