70 pesos an hour? No way. We pay ours 50 an hour - that is still the going rate here.
Is "kindness" factured into the "going rate"?
How much do I pay my Cleaning Lady?

I once lived in a small Mexican fishing village and enjoyed "negotiating" with the local man who sold seafood twice a week off his old pickup. One day, he asked me to tow his pickup home for him because it had broken down. When we got to his home, I saw he lived in a one-room cement house with no water or electricity, with his wife and child. I never again negotiated with him.
