Suzhou - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?
Cheap, plentiful, and professional. We hired someone to clean and cook on weekday afternoons for under $300/month. The more Chinese you know, the better, but household helpers are not too difficult to find through expat WeChat groups. - Jun 2019
We had a cleaning lady for 200 RMB a month, 3 days a week, 2 hours a day cost US$35 a month. DON'T use the ones that are advertised, they charge outrageous amounts. Like 5 times the real amount paid to the lady. Trust me. Scam the ignorant whitey. My wife is Chinese, has slight contacts. CAN DO. - Jun 2007
