I’m on that list and I’m as shocked as you are. 10€ per hour? On average, housekeepers in Portugal charge between 7 and 15 euros per hour, depending on the city.

Then they should take on a new (part-time) member of staff and not try to get hold of a freelancer who might end up being a bogus self-employed person (Scheinselbständigkeit" in German).

If this job posting came from a country, where living costs are much lower than in Luxembourg, I'd continue wondering, but in this case the posting shows just abusing character. ▲ Collapse
