When it comes to deciding the rate of a housekeeper, there are a variety of components to consider. These are usually the location, experience, and the types of tasks that need to be done. Housekeeper rates vary significantly area by area so it is essential to do your research and assess the costs of other housekeepers in the same area. Usually, the average hourly rate for a housekeeper falls between $17 and $30. Nevertheless, more expensive places and housekeepers with more expertise or special skills may earn a higher rate.

Also, it is significant to think about if you will be supplying your own materials and tools, or if the family you are working for will provide them. If you will be the one providing, it is sensible to ask for a somewhat higher rate.

Finally, it is always beneficial to chat with the family who is hiring you, so that you can both come to a reasonable price that is agreeable for everyone.
