Live-in Maid/housekeeper needed in Punta Cana

We are a french family with two young children. Big house with garden. The house is in an excellent neighborhood, low crime area of Punta Cana.

We need an honest, hard working young (18-30) woman to live in, manage the household and bring the children to the park everyday. No drama outside of work, meaning no children or boyfriends calling all day and night. Would prefer someone who speaks some English or French, as we speak very basic Spanish, but I understand it is almost impossible to find.

Private entrance, queen sized bed, closets and full bathroom, with privacy.

Food and boarding are included. This is a two weeks on duty, two days off, but must be onsite by 7:30am the day she gets back to work.

Concerning salary, we've never had live-in helpers before, so it is hard for me to determine what is considered to be a good wage here in DR. I'll check with my friends in the neighborhood and also discuss on a one to one with whoever is interested in the job.

We need help ...

I have to agree with you. It is really hard to find someone who knows how to manage household chores efficiently.

I am by far the perfect housewife, but before we had our second child, the house was thoroughly cleaned daily no matter what. Husband never complained. The washing and ironing was done each two days. Prepared each meal. Home made food for baby. Stroller ride each morning and afternoon in the neighborhood. And still had time for my beloved husband at night :?) ... no maid, no nanny, no grand parents helping.

And now, with my professional career and a second baby, I need help.

So, we have from 7am to 4pm, 5 days a week, two Haitians - mother and daughter. Mother does the cleaning, daughter does the babysitting with my 9 months' old baby. Some people would think I should be happy.

But believe me or not, they are not able to do half of the things I used to do alone.

Reluctantly, I ended up doing ALL the washing and ironing.
