Looking for a live in helper to assist with a 75 year old bedridden woman with Alzheimer's disease. She is unable to get out of bed and must be taken care of with feeding, cleaning, etc.

We are looking for a Khmer Female who will live with us and share in the family meals. We will allow her some time off during the week and to return to her homeland on the Khmer holidays.

Pay rates begin at $125 per month with bonuses and pay raises for good performance of her duties.

Respond to this post and I will be in touch with you.

Might be an idea to mention language requirements.

I cannot believe it would be possible to hire someone to look after me for $125 a month. That would only cover basic work like cleaning the floor.
You need to get a trainee nurse or such and pay $300 a month.

$125 a fucking month that's what value you put on someone to look after elderly woman
Some people come to Cambodia to exploit the people of Cambodia , I'd be ashamed of myself if that thought ever entered my mind
Paying anyone less than their basic wage is criminal
Good luck you'll get what you paid for

good luck finding someone willing to be exploited for that amount. Seriously, double it, at the very least!

italian restuarant owner offered my partner 90/month to waitress 6 days a week in bkk

she told him to go home to italy

Do they pay for their own coronavirus masks, or is this a cunning plot to kiill off the old lady?

FYI

The pay rate is considered GENEROUS by Khmer standards. A family across the street pays their helper $90.00 per month and will not allow the helper to go back to their homeland on holidays. This is not the USA and the helpers are paid better than the factory workers who slave 14-16 hours per day 6 days a week. All of you who criticize reveal your ignorance of the country where you live.

The helper only needs to speak Khmer. If they understood some English that would be a bonus.

But by everyone else it’s considered exploitation. Surprised it took you so long to write this rather predictable defence of your proposal.

Try posting the same “job vacancy” on one of the Facebook groups if you really want to make some new friends lol.

Isn't factory minimum wage $190 or so excluding OT?
The pay rate certainly is very generous, for 2005.
