Hi all,

I am new here. Brief introduction. Just registered my account today. I am currently 26 weeks preggers with my 2nd one. Due in mid April 2013.

I would like to know, what is the market rate for a non-live-in CL for 1 month. She:
1) comes around 9am, leaves around 6pm (maybe)
2) prepares my bath water, meals and soups/red dates drinks
3) does very light house work (sweep/mop floor only)
4) needless to say, handle the baby (general tasks as in bathing, feeding, attending to the baby, etc)
5) MIGHT get 1 day off (she still comes in the morning to cook my meals and then she can leave already for the day. Say, every Sunday?)

Anyone out there who can give me a reply today? It's becoz I'll be seeing 1 lady tomorrow (recommended by my 1st baby's nanny). so I need to know the rate. To those who wonder why I post this question last minute when in fact, I'll be seeing her tomorrow,well, thats becoz I use simple mathematics to count the price. Market price for a full time CL is around RM3500 (exclude angpau) now, ya? So for non-live-in part time CL, I just divide half and assume the price is RM2000 (exclude angpau). I am just assuming, but I still need your answer here. To be honest, I feel RM2000 for a lady doing the above is a lot already.

Please help. Thanks.

1) comes around 8am-9am, leaves around 5pm-6pm
2) prepares my bath water, meals and soups/red dates drinks
3) does very light house work (sweep/mop floor only, not doing also okay)
4) needless to say, handle the baby (assist in bathing, feeding, attending to the baby if wife cant cope)
5) minimum work monday-friday
