There is ample domestic help available to USG employees. The costs are so much palatable than the costs of domestic help in Weatern cities. - Aug 2015

Readily available. Between $60-120 a month for a few hours a day, everyday, cleaning of a 1-2 bedroom apartment. (And I'm told by our local staff this is far too high...) - Mar 2013


We didn't use any, although some did once or twice a week. Nanny = not applicable. - Sep 2011
