Readily available and not too expensive. Going rates are around $4.00 an hour. Many of the nannies (particularly the younger ones) speak very good English. - May 2013
Nannies and housekeepers are available, and relatively inexpensive, about 500 leke an hour (100 leke ~ 1 dollar) - Dec 2012
Nannies can be hard to find depending on your timing. Domestic help is very affordable and easy to find. Both charge around $3-$4/hour. The Mike Center near the US embassy has a babysitter training and referral program, but expect a babysitter with minimal experience from there. - Oct 2011
