Hourly rate for a part-time cleaner/cook?
Looking for a part-time cleaner/cook to grocery shop, prepare 2 meals/week, and do light cleaning. What's a fair hourly rate and how many hours are reasonable? Basic English skills preferred.
Depends heavily on the specific tasks and your expectations. For grocery shopping, meal prep (2 meals/week), and light cleaning in Shanghai, I'd guess you're looking at 50-80 RMB per hour as a starting point. That's a broad range, reflecting the differences in experience and skill levels. Someone with more experience preparing specific types of cuisine or with proven cleaning expertise would command the higher end. As for hours, 5-10 hours a week is probably manageable for this kind of arrangement. You could negotiate a fixed weekly rate instead of hourly, which might be simpler for both of you. Just be upfront about your needs and budget from the start.
That's really helpful, thanks! 50-80 RMB per hour does seem reasonable for Shanghai. I hadn't considered a fixed weekly rate – that definitely simplifies things. I'll try to be clear about my needs and budget when I start looking. Any advice on finding someone reliable? Are there any specific sites or apps people use in Shanghai for this kind of thing?
