What is the usual hourly rate for a DH here in Hong Kong if I were to have him/her for 3-4 hours per week?

Just to be clear, you cannot legally hire a DH on an hourly rate. It's full time, live-in, or nothing.
There are agencies that do hire out maids/nannies, though. And of course there's the under the table method, which is illegal.

You can of course hire a local, permanent resident or someone on a dependents visa just not an overseas DH who is here on a working visa.

Indeed Moppet and thanks for pointing that out. I just wanted to make it clear to the poster that hiring someone not meeting certain strict criteria is illegal unless on a standard FDH contract. This point is much misunderstood.

Seems to be $50-60 but my friend pays $50 for someone who cleans and does childcare whereas I know another who pays $60 for someone who will only babysit.
You don't always get a better person at a higher rate.
