Washington, DC - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?

Legal and illegal domestic help is readily available. I had a legal (permanent resident) housekeeper who cleaned my 3 BRM house and did the ironing each week for US$75. Other friends pay US$150 for the same services. Ask people for their recommendations. - Jun 2006
