How much is a cleaning person????

I just want someone maybe once a month.  I clean pretty regularly but I just need to get caught up on cleaning and I can't.  (if that makes any sense?)  I am too tired and between all 3 kids getting dropped off and getting home from school at different times, it is killing me.  I am almost non-functional right now.  TIA.

  • My used to clean about 10 years ago. She charged $25 an hour

  • Depends on the sqftg of your home and how often they would come. I am pretty sure once a month will be a little more than once a week or even twice a month. When we had a house cleaner, it was $60 each clean and she came every other week. Our house is around 1500 sqft.

  • Once a month would be $120, I have 2X a month for $65 each time, so $130 a month.  I used to have $80 once a month.  I like the one I use because I SAH and the send a team, so it only takes 2 hours, instead of 4 or 5 like 1 person would. 
  • I use one about 1/month or before a party or house guests come. She is 20/hour. I usually just tell her the amount of time I want her to clean and what I want done and she trys to stay in that time limit so I know how much money to expect to pay.
  • I pay $120 a month for a team of 3 ladies and it takes them 2.5-3 hours for 4100 sqft. 
  • We paid $80 per visit every other week for a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house, which didn't include laundry.  I need to find someone new - the last one we had drove me nuts so I wanted to try and do it myself, but I hate cleaning!
  • I pay $125 every 2 weeks. My house is 4000sq ft and they're (2 people) here about 4 hours. I still clean in between, but they do the deep cleaning.
  • This totally depends on COL and if you have a private person vs. a company. I live in HCOL.

    We pay CottageCare $178 to have our 2350 sq ft house cleaned every 2 weeks. I think he spends about 6 hours (at least that's how long it would take me to do the same amount of cleaning), so about $30/hour.

    A private person here costs about $15 /hour.

    My grandmother lives in a very low COL and only pays $8/hour for her lady.

  • We have a cleaning service come in and pay $98 every 2 weeks for a 2100 sq ft house. We actually do not clean at all between. I always mean to, but we're both so busy with work. It's a frantic night the Tuesday before just to get the clutter picked up so the cleaning people can clean. The only thing we do now is the dishes, the laundry, and the bird cages.

    ETA: We have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The service is a team of 4 people for about 1-2 hours.
