What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?
Live in or live out. People with children have full time nannies/housekeepers, and those without children have full or part time housekeepers. Full time help is 1500-2500 pesos per week on the local market. We pay our nanny/housekeeper 4200 for 50 hours a week. Prices are about 70 pesos per hour, and Mexican overtime law is 200%. We also have a pool service (120 pesos) weekly, and a gardener (350 pesos every other week). - Jan 2022
