The one thing I know for sure is that they don't come easy.. it's tough to find one that is honest, loyal, and really does a good job. When you do find one you've found a gem.
I've come across quite a few gems here in the DR, but unfortunately they are all working now and I'm stuck with having to try new people. This really puts me un easy..
Any tips you all have for finding a good woman to work? It's a small apartment in San Francisco.. but looking for a Live-in that will stay with me for about 3 months. (Till Christmas)..
Where do I look? I used to use my sister in-law but she's way too Dominican for me.. I asked for her to get me a cook for today so I could finish cleaning up, un packing, etc.. and she told me she couldn't find anyone for 200 pesos.. It's just to cook!! Most don't make that! When I agreed (stupidly) for 500 (I am desperate) the woman came and told me it was very little for what I was asking her to do.. (Cook comida and then peel my platanos for tonight.. ) And sweep and mop the kitchen before she leaves.. Wow.. I realize I was being taken advantage of with even 500... but it really put a sour taste in my mouth for my sister inlaw finding anyone else..
I'd love some ideas..
Thanks
