Part-time household help
By Darlington •
Is it common practice to hire a cleaner for a set amount of hours per week? I'm probably looking for 8 hours per week to help with housework and ironing plus a little bit of shopping. I no longer require a nanny/child minder and I work full time. I don't want anyone to live-in or be at my home on Friday or Saturday. If possible, how much per hour is average? How would I go about it?
30Qr per hour + taxi fare
I contacted the maint. workers in my villa compound, they would do a decent job cleaning..we negociated 150 qr, two guys knocked it out in 4 hours..it's 4 1/2 bedroom villa..
They were avail in the evenings..
my normal housemaid charges 30 QR per hour..+ taxi fare..
Shopping is not done except for cleaning supplies..from the market located in the compound..
i use to ask 1 of my good neighbours if i could borrow their housemaid occasionally & i use to pay the family money ( if they gave it to the housemaid or not, is not my business ) but it worked for me.....most famillies here see their maids as their property ...unfortunately. So hence why i went through the family instead of direct to the maid. Or maybe you could put an advert here on qatar living? good luck finding help
