How are you able to assume this, since I actually would very much see it as a problem if 3-4 people I don't trust to clean my house as much as my housekeeper are inside doing the job? Your underlying assumption is that I'm an idiot and can't see what's happening. She couldn't subcontract the work for the same reason I can't subcontract my work at my current job - my employer would see through it.

Not many people would come out for $10/hr for only one hour. What about travel time? And the organization necessary to make sure the quality is still high? I think you're lampshading a ton here.

You say it's lampshading, I say it's just imagining some ways where people can exploit this type of opportunity when receiving above-market pay.
