Be vigilant in hiring household help even if they come from a reputable agency.
Make sure you get all clearances (NBI and Police Clearance) for added safety.
Minimum cost for a maid nowadays is around 4,000.00/month. Some can go as high as 12,000.00/month depending on the type of jobs they'll do.

Thanks Rei,

In addition to this amount, is there anything else an employer needs to pay for?  Or are the above figures the total cost of employment?

And does it cost more to have a live in maid, or less?

I tried a maid once, but it cost me my Lenovo tablet, which disappeared, on her first day...

Make sure you get all checks done. Barangay Clearance, NBI etc....

I see some maids wanting about 4,000 pm live in, others 10,000.

Hi~ live in maid costs less and the above figures should be the total cost. It's imperative to discuss to the maid their work scope no matter how mundane it is.
Cooking and other tasks should be part of their tasks if you wish to. Include it in your needed qualities when hiring.
And always have a contract for your safety.

HI Sirrobcentral and Ruberagas

As usual I appreciate your feed back, it is always good to get as many perspectives as possible.

My girl friend used to work as a maid for a Filipino family and she was paid 2,000 per month, this was as a live in maid, as such she used to get food on top of her wage, and no Phil health.  That was in a small province city, about 3 years ago now.

I always think that it is important that when living in another country that we do not raise the price on things such as services, as the flow on effect can led can led to bigger problems, for the local community.  If people

My understanding is that a nurse after  4 years of college makes about 25,000 to 28,000 php a month, (no food no board) and teacher is about the same, in both cases if they can get work at all.  I consider what the flow on effect could be, if I was to pay higher than local market wages.  I am not advocating paying 3,000php per month, unless I was to be living in a province.

There is no doubt that by me living in the Philippines I do change the local economy, but I do always consider flow on effects to the community, if I was to be paying a lot higher than local market rates.

In the end we will all pay, or not, what we fell a service is worth.

I have lived here in the Philippines for almost 8 years. Everything that I read here is correct for the maids salaries. As far as RN's, you can pay as little as 7,000 a month in provinces and as much as high teens in Manila, etc... Check it out on olx.com.ph

If you are on a tighter budget, another option instead of an RN is hiring a TESDA certified Caregiver. The salaries are lower but like I read here as well, you get what you pay for.

Thanks Brad, very much appreciated.

Its really sad for us evn u asked nicely that u leave in the end they'll tell u that your not a good maid.

Good point Rubergas,

I know in some countries it is expected that the maid will have long time work with the employer.
