Those in need of domestic staff such as local, Nepali, or Filipino caregivers, elderly caregivers, play sisters, child caregivers + household help naturally want to learn about the caregiver salaries for the new year of 2018. We hope that our article on 2018 caregiver fees will help those who want to gain insight on this matter.
Factors Affecting Caregiver Fees
*The Nature of the Requested Service
The fees for a staff member working solely as a child or elderly caregiver are not the same as those for a staff member who also serves as a household helper. The person who is also involved in household tasks such as ironing, cleaning, and cooking, in addition to taking care of the personal needs of the child or elderly/sick individual, receives a higher fee.
The fees for taking care of a single baby differ from those for working as a twin baby caregiver.
*Daytime or Live-in Work
The fees for live-in domestic staff are higher.
*The Size of the House
The fee for a staff member hired to assist with household chores varies according to the size of the house. Since a larger house requires more and more challenging work, the fee for cleaning such a house is also higher.
*The Characteristics of the Staff Candidate
The education level and experience of the hired staff also affect the fee they will receive.
*Caregiver Fees Also Vary by City
In large cities and metropolises, caregiver prices are higher. For example, caregivers working in Istanbul receive higher fees than those in other cities. A caregiver living in Istanbul will also demand a higher fee when they agree to go to another city and work there. Some may wonder about the reason for this. Let’s give an example:
Filipino caregivers are also requested by families living in Antalya and surrounding provinces, but most of the foreign caregivers are found in Istanbul, where there are many families looking for domestic staff to work in various fields. A caregiver candidate naturally demands a higher fee to leave the city they have settled in, live in, and have established a network, to start living and working in another city.
