What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?
Expensive compare to Nigeria and Kuwait. It's basically American citizens demanding minimum wage at the very least. It's an expensive CoLA. I don't blame them. - May 2023
About US$70 a day. I'm not sure about the experience of others but mine was not good. I think that the island work ethic is bad and I can't say I blame them because the economy is terrible and the cost of living high. I'm not sure I'd be willing to give my all if my economic future was bleak. - Jan 2014
It varies. I have some expat friends who have a housekeeper come twice a month, and she gets $60- $80 a day. I don't know the costs of having someone every day. Lawn care once a month for us costs $70- $90 depending on how messy the yard is. - Jun 2013
