Even here (big expensive capital city) that is the pricy end of housekeeping. Sounds like there are way too many people with more cash than sense where you are.

Maybe I should be a housekeeper. Nevermind...I don't even like to clean my own house. I agree that $20 an hour seems expensive. Maybe I should be a housekeeper.

I couldn't believe that they'd get more than I would working as an RN. Well, okay, I COULD believe it, but it made me annoyed. The baby sitters I was looking into for Alex were similarly overpriced.

Well, I guess that is about what my mom would pay for her once weekly housecleaning, but it was more like $40/week, which is much more palatable. And of course, this was 16 years ago...Maybe $20 is reasonable. I just can't think that paying someone more than you make is reasonable. $20/hour? Really?
