What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?
Household help is getting hard to obtain. Most help will do 10-12 EUR/hour for a minimum of 5 hours, but again you need to plan for them to cancel last second or to not be able to find one. Expats employ nannies and cleaning employees. - Aug 2023
Average pay about 10 EUR/hour. - Dec 2022
We pay about 1000 Euro a month for a full-time nanny. - Feb 2021
We pay 50 euro for our cleaner to come once a week for four hours. - Sep 2020
Domestic help is surprisingly expensive when compared to local wages. Think 10 Euros an hour and up. - Oct 2019
Some people have nannies. I would say it's not like countries where household help is cheap, but it's more common than in West European capitals to have at least a cleaner weekly. - Mar 2017
Household cleaning is about 50 euros for 3-4 hrs. Many people have someone come every other week at that rate. It would be nice if an expat opened a dog walking service. That's hard to find here. - Mar 2017
We have a lady who cleans our house for four hours once weekly - not cheap but not cost prohibitive. - Aug 2015
Not easy to find, and usually snapped up as soon as a reliable one becomes available. Pay varies from 10Lt - 25 Lt per hour. I have heard that you can find a nanny or a housekeeper, but finding one person who will do both is nearly impossible...unless you can get our Yuki. She's always booked out, though. The CLO office has not compiled a list of nannies, and demand outweighs supply, so please do your homework and begin your search long before you arrive. - Jun 2013
English-speaking domestic help is available in the US$6/hour range. - Feb 2011
You can find domestic help, but it is expensive. - May 2009
Available, but not cheap. - Nov 2008
