Wow! I'm paying WAY more. But mine are large suites with living area in addition to bath and bedroom, that take about 90 minutes to clean, and apartments that have full kitchens and take a couple of hours.
It still sounds like I'm still paying way too much. But both my housekeepers can reliably run the whole place while I'm on vacation, so not having to supervise them means a lot.
Still, if I eventually find competent and reliable workers who would do it for $12 or even $16/hour, I'd sure be happy!
