What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?
Consulate staff tend to hire house cleaners and/or nanny services, but you have to contribute to social security, vacation time, severance, and holidays. Altogether, expect to pay €12-15 an hour for this kind of help. - Jun 2018
Household help at about 10Euro/hr plus an allowance for insurance is not everyone's cup of tea. Most that do have help, have help to clean the house once or twice a week. - Sep 2016
