Moved to town a couple months ago and live in the HZ... Our realtor helped us find a live-in maid, unfortunately, this was her first experience and we grew frustrated and had to let her go. Any tips on where to find someone experienced? Prefer live-in (cooking skills a must) but not opposed to having someone just come a few times a week and clean either. Any help would be appreciated!
I'm not sure where to find one exactly as I don't believe they advertise here in Cancun. Most people I know with housekeepers found them through recommendations and word of mouth. Keep asking around!
Maybe the "perfect" maid doesn't exist, but it's pretty easy to find a good one, just as G. said. Good luck with your hunt!
My gal is available Tues and Wed and is WONDERFUL. Spanish only but I am trying to teach her a bit of English.
What does she do, how many hours does she typically work when she comes, and what does she expect to get paid, T.J.?
Thanks for your replies, I think a friend of mine may have found what I needed. We were paying the maid we just let go 6,000MXN/mo and also room & board to basically mop, do laundry and stand around. I think I'm off the live in, now looking at like 4-5 days a week and gone by the time we're home.
I guess I needed to find another way to say it, which would have been, that sounds like a lot to me- but then I have no experience with live in maids, and what they cost.
