I have a home in La Paz. Looking for someone to come to my house to water my plants and do a little sweeping for only 1/2 hr every 5 days (i.e. 6
times a month = total time per month = 3 hrs). Would like to pay once a month.
Anybody have an idea as to what would be a fair amount to pay in pesos per month?
Thanks in advance for any advice you could give me.

When we are away in the summer (6-7 months) we have a local lady that does pretty much what you mentioned, and we pay her 500 pesos a month.
We are in Los Barriles.

30 minutes of work would have to pay well to make it worth showing up.

Yes, travel time, gas $, needs to be factored in. Even if one only wants them to work for 30 minutes, that should be considered an hour, unless it's
just a neighbor who can walk over.
