It used to be (within the last 2-3 yrs), one could hire a cleaning person for 1200 pesos per day... 1500 pesos was really good pay. That was for someone to come clean and maybe even cook lunch. 800 ft2 1-bed apt. Punta Cana Village. Now, I can't get anyone for less than 2000 pesos and I have to provide breakfast and lunch. The women come eat and drink at my house all day and don't even do half of a good job. The other day I had 2 people here and paid them 2000 pesos each to do a "deep cleaning" and they still looked at me like I was shortchanging them. After I gave them breakfast, coffee during the day, and lunch. I felt like I was catering to them and the boss-worker dynamic was flipped. (i did need them to do the work and wanted to be nice, BUT something felt off though.) Then, when I returned home after dropping them off at the bus station, I discovered the mop was left dirty, broom and cleaning stuff stashed hurriedly, some plates and cutlery stashed hurriedly too. It had not been a good job. The question - How much do you pay for cleaning? Has it gone up (doubled?) in the last year? What is going on? Did expats ruin the market by overpaying? Ideally - I want them to arrive at my house by themselves (no more picking up at the bus station!!), bring their own food (I can't be cooking), do the work, and transport themselves out. What is the NORMAL pay for that in Punta Cana? And where do you find good workers?
