    Do you have a labandera? How much do you pay and for x number of people? Is the salary weekly or monthly? Does it include ironing?

    I am surprised that the labanderas now are very demanding They are very different from the old generation of help at home

    You are correct in your observation that labanderas are very demanding that is why most would rather buy their own washing machines to do their own laundry or go to laundromats. A friend who has a family of four said his labandera who does all their laundry and iron them charges them php 400/day with free lunch

    Our househelp do the washing & ironing of our clothes.

    Pero, pano ba lavandera ngayon? Do they do handwash, or wash clothes via washing machine? Narinig ko kasi yung neighbor namin minsan na "ako na lang maglalaba sa washing machine. Ano yan, isasampay na lang nya yung nilabhan, at nakaupo, at mag-titext buong maghapon?"

    Ha ha. May katuwiran nga naman. Tapos singil ata, nasa P500, may lunch at snacks pa.

    This is in metro manila? The last labandera we talked to was charging P350 for laundry and another P350 for ironing for 3 people.

    I want my clothes handwashed. Kung washing machine, we won't hire a labandera anymore.

    The person doing our laundry includes breakfast, lunch and 2 merienda. She brings her daughter along so that's for 2 people. But she's not really a labandera. She used to be the caretaker of our old neighbor and she is filling in until we find a labandera. Nahihiya na ko kasi she mentioned that at home she uses a washing machine.

    Handwash talaga? Hehe ayus!

    Di ka na lang kumuha full-time househelp?

    Samen meron kami automatic na washing machine para lagay and sampay na lang.

    Then we hire iron lady, pag weekends.

    300 yun free lunch pa. Eh for 2 pax lang paplantsahin nun ha.

    Pero in fairness pulido trabaho.
