    nice responses.

    sa province kami eh, yung yaya namin gets 2k/mo. all she has to do was to look after our 17 mo.old son. kapag wala kaming pasok (both of us are working), wala din siyang pasok. we personally take care of our baby's things (bottles, clothes ironing and laundry, etc). tapos, whenever we do our grocery, my wife sets aside a separate bag for them with their basic essentials. she's fixed with an 8am-5pm schedule, monday to friday only. medyo malikot lang anak ko pero he just sleeps in the afterrnoon. yung labandera cum plantsadora namin gets 2.8k/mo.

    i think its fair enough. what do you think guys?

    bakit parang biglang naging concern ang mga tsikoters sa mga pa sweldo sa mga maids?

    more questions from me, do you give increases annually and how much?

    need your inputs, lets compare notes


    i have a baby sitter her rate is 6,000/month, once a month overnight day - off

    an all around maid 3500/month her duty is just to make sure house is spiffy clean.... i do the cooking.

    any violent reactions?
    ok lang yan sis.. kung paglilinis lang yung ginagawa ng maid niyo, sa iba nga all around pati baby sitting around 3000/month..
