There are agencies or often by word of mouth - a neighbour or friend's maid/nanny may have a friend looking for work.

Usually you will pay around SR 20-25 per hour, although you could probably make a deal for a monthly amount - around SR2000-2500 a month would be the most you would probably pay, depends upon whether you also plan to supply room & board.

I don't know the norm on that one - many Saudi's take their nanny on holiday with them - so obviously they get paid. Friends of ours didn't pay their driver during the summer - but did give him a little extra in the last month as a "holiday bonus". I guess you can always work it out with her when you employ her.
