I have not hired any help with the cleaning, but it is a "full time job" with the windows open all the time and the tile floors. Talking to other people who have hired help, house cleaning will run about between 70-100CHF an hour, babysitters are about 15CHF an hour, nannies (non-live-in) are about 30CHF an hour. There are always people seeking domestic jobs because the job market is so competitive here. You just have to be prepared to pay for it. - Jul 2009
