lakeside7 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 A couple of American friends, one in Ajijic and the other in Chapala who are looking for a maid asked me what is the going rate. Their previous maids were getting 80 pesos and hour and one left because she said she needed more money. I have never understood the difference between what maids are paid and general workmen. For example I have a regular group of guys that do work on some of my home and their wages are 600 pesos per day for the Jeffe and 560 and 350 per day for his helpers I am getting the feeling that because the US$ ex change rate has gotten stronger that maids in particular think their wages should also be increased. Do you think that 500/550 pesos a day is reasonable for a maid?..Can you please share your experiences I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 How many hours a day do they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 75 pesos per hour is what we pay our maid and I think it is fair. We, too, have been paying her during this period as she would normally ride the bus from SJC and we felt it was not safe for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
