A maid and a nanny in Peru

Finally the day came for our hero to move to his new apartment. The furniture had been delivered so everything was ready. After they settled in, everything was much better. They were more comfortable, the baby had more room to play, they had internet connection, etc. More importantly they hired two people to help them in the house. A maid and a nanny. Some people may think that two people are too much, but in Peru it is very common. These ladies receive around 150 € per month, which is extremely cheap. They also live and eat in your house. They receive one day off per week, usually every Sunday. It is very common for foreigners that live in Peru and then return to their countries, to take the maid or the nanny with them, especially if they are happy with them. However, it not easy to find good help. In any case our hero would have help now so life would be certainly easier than living in a hotel. They only needed some time to trust the nanny with the baby. But after a month, everything was ok.
