Lots of availability. Approximately US$300 plus per month for full-time help. - Feb 2016
Consulate has a list of housekeepers and nannies. Very reasonable. Most housekeepers will clean, shop, and cook. Ours even helped us unpack when we moved into our apartment, bossed the movers around for us, and organized the furniture. A true housekeeper! - Jul 2014
Very available and there is a listing at the Consulate. We pay a bit higher than the going rate but it's still not high, US$25-$40/day depending on if childcare is also involved. Many of the ladies clean (extremely well), cook, and shop for groceries. - May 2014
