Salary/Rate of Labandera

[_Cathy_]

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.

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.

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

Then we hire iron lady, pag weekends.

Pero in fairness pulido trabaho.

Sa amin dalawa kasambahay namin. Isang stay in at ung isa monday-friday lang dahil nag ssidelinr ng laba sa weekends. Yung uwian namin 350/day ang ginagawa nun ay maglaba at mag plantsa. Ever other day laba namin, kusot sa kamay then banlaw sa washing machine kaya habang nasa washing ang labada naglilinis din ng bahay

Yup. Sa best friend ko ganun ang maid nila. Mabigat na work kasi maglaba.

[SkyFlakes88]

AFAIK between 3.5k to 5k stay in all around with sss contributions and philhealth. Depende sa usapan at capacity nun maid sa work description.

Suwertehan lang sa pagkuha nang maid kasi kung magkakasundo kayo sa ugali. Dun nagkakatalo in the long run kung tatagal sa inyo e. Usually if the treatment and pay is good there are maids na family member na turing at d na naiisip umalis because of this. [emoji4]

[boybi]

Hirap na makakuha ng maid na nagtatagal. Usually mapili na sila sa trabaho. Aalamin kung gano kalaki ang bahay, ilang ang mga tao sa bahay, kung nasaang location ang bahay, ayaw nila kung malayo sa sibilisasyon.

Per day... NASA 500php...

[StockEngine]

I ride solo...

6.5kg samsung toploader(18kphp) plus liquid detergent and downy/comfort whichever is on sale. And a hanger pole.

Clothes dont even need ironing if softener is used properly.

Back in college circa 2003 it was 35pesos/kilo with pickup and delivery sa dorm.

Automatic dispenser dapat. Some let the fabric softener soak for lots of minutes and reduces the effectively of the wax. I think the washine machine manufacturers timed it to be under a few minutes of agitation then spin dry agad. I think this lets the wax cling better sa clothes in my opinion.

Kasambahay all around including hand wash 5000 per month. Of course free food and medicine

Our labandera is "stay out", 4x per week only, does the laundry and ironing, plus cooking when she's here and other chores (but not required, gusto lang nya gawin). Washing machine plus hand wash delicate clothes or when necessary. P7.5k/month plus P30/day tricycle fare so bale P7.9k, plus we give her extra during enrollment time for her college kid. The other 3 days/week she works for someone else. I gave her my daughter's old bike, saya nya kasi now she does not need to spend for tricycle fare. And wifey still gives her the 30/day for the tricycle. Ok lang naman coz she is very responsible, kahit gabi na basta may nakita siya na gagawin hindi pa uuwi.

Yung stay in namin na maid matagal na gusto sisantihin ni misis wala lang kasi makitang kapalit. Walang alam gawin kundi mag celphone, araw araw need pa utusan kung ano gagawin nya.
