The affluent who can afford a housekeeper or even a nanny pay approximately $650 a week as wages for this kind of domestic help. Part-time housekeepers are generally paid between $17- $20 an hour.<\/p>\n

Housekeepers and nannies are expected to work approximately 55 hours a week and generally work from Monday to Friday or from Tuesday to Saturday as they are expected to have two days off in a week. Most people prefer to employ housekeepers or nannies, who have a legal status i.e. who have the right to work in the US. However these employers are expected to pay taxes and benefits on behalf of their domestic help. The IRS requires these employers to file payroll taxes for any domestic staff that receives more than $1700 (2009) cash wages in a calendar year. This tax is popularly known as Nanny Tax though many employers also employ these nannies and housekeepers \u2018off the books\u2019.<\/p>\n
