I can only do this because I live abroad in Latin America. Sadly, wages are very low for this kind of work.
Though I did have a cleaning person come twice a month, when I lived in the Pacific Northwest, I could never afford all this much help living in the US.
I used to live in Central America and most foreigners from the US had their own maids. Some maids even had their own room in the house and lived with the family (great for babysitting, cleaning, cooking, etc)
