working for peanuts
Yes it's definitely a lower salary than what I am used to here in Canada. But, when looking for a job in the DR I know better then to expect lots of $. It's not the money i would be after, but the experience. And why not do something I love while gaining knowledge about a county i love!
I have a job opening with a doctor here in the Capital.. for 8000 pesos... not live in.. You would be expected to do all the cleaning, including the ironing, and make two meals a day, arrive at 7, leave at 5 take the young daughter to school, pick her up afterwards.. And, no, transport would not be included.
Now I know that you are not going to take this one, because really, the odds are that a Canadian here would NOT be able to clean a house here as well as a Dominican...
So I am going to refer it to the sister of my blessed Rosaria, who will be coming down from Jimani, and will live with Rosaria, and will be extremely grateful for this wage
Which is, indeed, as much as some secretaries... even BILINGUAL ones... make...
just so you have an idea...
Your only shot is to post with Carol Morgan or a similar high end school in Santiago which are part of the uber rich and would welcome a native English speaker. If you had room and board, the 8000 pesos would do you.
