I'm more than happy to pay the going rate but I have no idea what it is.I hear of people paying 500 and others paying 3000 for a 4 or 5 hour visit.Things aren't cheap and I don't usually care too much about cost but hate being fleeced or paying stupid prices when better deals are available.I'd rather pay 1,000 or a bit more and give bonuses (money, wine, champagne, clothes, presents from holidays etc) than pay 2,000 a time.I'm actually thinking of getting someone in who can cook as well now and just pay whatever it takes!Regards,Nick ----- Original Message ----From: Nick Wilsdon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: The Moscow Expat List <[email protected]>Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 7:44:09 PMSubject: Re: Expat List Cleaner needed Hi JohnNick's a regular here so I don't think he's trolling :) I am a little surprised though you can get 5hrs cleaning work for 1000r. We're lucky to do that in Ivanovo and we're 300km away from Moscow prices. When we first moved here 4yrs ago we got 2 guys helping us moving the office furniture for 400r. We just did the same job last weekend and they wanted a min. 3000r. Same with our programmers, the good ones can get $4-5k/month now in Moscow. I'm just about to rent a flat for $4k - that's a fraction as good as the London apartment I could get with the same money. Crazy prices rises here. -- Best RegardsNick Wilsdone3internethttp://www.e3internet.comSkype: Nick_WilsdonTel: +7 4932 346314Blog: http://nickwilsdon.com 2008/9/23 John Heisel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wait, this is a troll, right? you can't seriously expect anyone to give you recommendations after a note like this?(or am i just too sober to get the sarcasm?) 2008/9/22 Nick REES <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My bloody cleaner is leaving as she's been offered more money by some Russians.When she started she was useless but she's improved a lot over the past 4 months. Now she's leaving....but of course after borrowing money first!!!!If anyone can recommend a loyal and honest cleaner, I would be grateful.We pay 1000 rubles per visit - twice a week - and about 4-5 hours per time.
