I think about 130,000 dhs for a 2 bed apartment
I would still allow 40,000 for school age child
1 yr old will be fine, unless going to nursey (not cheap)

Not everyone here has home help.
You either have to sponsor someone (I believe its about 5,000 dhs-refundable at end of contract), then pay their wages per month (at least 1500 dhs), plus a ticket to their home country each yr (or 2 , depends on contract)
They usually live in with you, unless you pay for their acc. too.

You can have help by the hr through maid agencies..approx 30 dhs per hour.

I dont believe in a villa, you will make ends meet as it will cost you the bulk of you money.
In an apartment, it may be doable...just
Remember you will have things such as fuel, insurance, health insurance, furniture..if not having it bought over)..

I personally would look into it more...its not a cheap place to live, and rents + schooling goes up all the time.
