Hourly
These workers are usually Italian and Non-Italian. This kind of help is
easy to find, readily available, and not very expensive. The going rate
is approx. 5 - 7 Euros an hour as much depends on the number of hours
worked.
Daily
These workers are usually Non-Italians who have their own place to
live, but work at the home of one employer for the entire day. They are
called ‘lungo orario’ and work a fixed number of hours
(usually starting at 7.00 or 8.00 and ending at 17.00 or 18.00 from Mon
through Sat)a day. The salary they earn varies greatly depending on the
agreement initially agreed upon. Unfortunately, it seems that sometimes
the salary depends on the nationality of the worker. Workers from the
Phillippines command a higher salary in comparison to most other
Non-Italian home help.
Live - in
It is not uncommon to have a person living with a family who takes care
of both the house and the children, these are called
‘Fisso’. There are large numbers of Non-Italian workers
usually from the Phillipines, Latin America, Sri Lanka, and Ethiopia
who eagerly seek this kind of position, as it provides work, food, and
board. The average salary for a ‘fisso’ is between 600 -
800 Euros a month.
HOW
DO I FIND THESE SERVICES?
On the English Yellow Pages website you will find classified ads from
individuals looking for such work, and you may also place an ad if you
are looking for home help. The most common way to find a baby sitter is
through word of mouth, i.e. asking around for reliable, qualified, and
experienced people. Otherwise people find baby-sitters through ads in
the newspapers (Gazzetta Affari/Business), or through temporary job
agencies. For home help one can also contact “Imprese di
pulizia” (Cleaning Companies).
