What is the proper amount to give to Housekeepers in Houston Texas?

Question

With the Holidays shortly coming up, I need to prepare my years end budget. I have a Housekeeper who comes over every other Wednesday to sweep, vacuum, mop, dust. What is the proper Christmas bonus I need to give her?

Answer 1

Since you only employ her two days out of the month.  I would think that an extra two days pay

at Christmas time would be sufficient.  It depends also how long you have used her services.

Answer 2

I give mine one weeks pay extra at Christmas. I used to have one that spent many years with me and I did a bit more

Answer 3

I agree with the "week's pay" amount from Sweetmommy.  

Answer 4

I've been using mine for almost 5 yrs now and Usually at Thanksgiving I give her an extra $100 on top of what I pay her. She does a great job and doesn't complain when things are worse than usual. She's wonderful and deserves the money.
