If you want a dumb maid who will only listen to your wife/girlfriend in her dialect, does not have common sense with a questionable high school education you should pay 1500-2500 a month. Most wives or girlfriends prefer it this way because they definitely don't want to hire someone smarter than them and they like the slave type of relationship. "Just do what I say". If you want to hire someone with some brains, then you pay more. When I was a medical student my maid was earning over $100 a month. She was great. Fluent in English, handled paying the bills, shopping etc.. She knew she was paid well and she had pride in doing a good job. She was a good cook, could even make Bagels. I hired her from another American Medical student who was graduating. When I was home in New York on vacation she would pay the rent and if they were anything important going on she would call me in New York. She was ugly and well worth the money I paid her. Stay away from attractive maids!!!!!!!!
