I find $9000 for help to be outrageously high!! They saw you coming!!!
We pay our lead cook and housekeeper very well, and she makes slightly less than $5000 a month, Plus food. Her assistant gets $150 a day up to 6 days a week. The part time gardener gets $300 a day. No live in help...
And by local standards, we pay well. Our cook has been with us for more than 15 years. But, and this is important, we are not ex-pats.....
