Wow.Some cleaning ladies are really well paid. My husbands business is struggling and he sometimes says he wishes he could supplement it by being a "cleaning lady". Maybe it isn't such a bad idea...

I live in brooklyn. I pay $10.00 for my very nice Hungarian cleaning lady.
She is very religious so that makes her quite trustworthy for me as well.

AFAIK, my sisters, neighbors and friends all pay $10.00 an hr as well. Some add $5.00 for car-fare. Mine doesn't ask for it but I do tip her many times and 'always' feed her a cooked dinner plus coffee/juice/ cookies in between...

It's one thing to ask nicely for a raise & another to put demands on it. Look for a new cleaning lady who will do a better job then your current one and settle on a price with her! You are the employer, let them know what is expected of them so there will be no confusion Smile

Op here. I was paying her $10 and now after the summer she told me she needs to get $100 for the day (which comes out to approx. $12.50). She was working only 7 hours till now so that was $70, or sometimes $75 if she stayed a bit longer.
For me to add the $25 a week is a lot, but I do see that pple are paying that amount. All the pple I had asked in real life were paying $10, so I was trying to figure this out. I have found someone new to try out and hopefully that will work out.

If she wants $100 and she stays 7 hours that's $14.25/hour. (I'm not saying if you should pay that or not jut telling you it's not 12.50)

No she said she'll stay 8 hours, but she is almost always 15-20 min late.

You're forgetting that this is all tax free so it's not exactly a real minimum wage job.


OTOH it has no paid vacation, no sick days, no holiday pay, no insurance plan, not even a stingy one, no pension plan, no employee discount, no social security, no workers' comp if they get hurt, no fringe benefits whatsoever unless you throw in lunch.

No wonder you can't get anyone reliable, paying such miserable wages. I was paying more than that twenty years ago. Talking to those who pay $10/hr. Minimum wage is no wage, it's exploitation.

I also have no benefits in my job, and since I'm an independent contractor, more than half my salary goes to uncle sam!
