I purchased a small home in a gated community about a year ago. I needed a caretaker as I can only spend about 8 weeks a year right now, in the Dominican Republic. The manager of our gated community recommended a local gentleman. The manager said I should pay him $125.00 U.S.D. per month. I'd like to know if thats too little, too much or just right.
When I'm not there, he takes care of the lawn and the pool. He also airs out the house every couple of days. He takes care of any repair problems. He's fixed the roof and repaired water pipes. When I'm there, he cleans the house, does dishes, drives me around and will do any chore I ask of him. He does an excellent job. His only job is working for me, so I'm his only source of income.
Is this a fair wage?
