We're just getting one again. We fired one for being unreliable and didn't try very hard to rehire until last week.
I think we're going to have her come biweekly, on Wednesdays.
The last lady came on Mondays and I thought I'd like that because I'd have the weekend to pick up the clutter, but it never seemed to work that way. Sometimes the weekend makes more clutter - or we'd go out of town and dump our bags on stuff late on Sunday night and I'd have to rush to pick up in the mornings (I work on Monday and Wednesday, so the kids are out of the house - key point - it's hard for me to clean around them, so I wouldn't ask her to).
Monday, every other week. And then per request (ie: the day before thanksgiving, or the kid's birthday parties, etc).
We used to do Friday, with the thinking that the house would be nice and clean for the weekend. But with all of us home all weekend, it needed a good cleaning by Monday morning again.
Her and her H come mostly every other Tues am from 9-12... sometimes 1x/week. My house seems to get so yucky so fast lately. And I keep up with it daily.
I like Tues because we often have weekend company and the house gets dirty with company so the cleaners are there shortly after. But, also if I have weekend company the house is still pretty clean from Tues
Thursdays...every other week. I have her come at the end of the week so we can easily entertain on the Friday nights on the week she comes. That also allows me time to do some light cleaning on the weekend for the off weeks when she does not come.
Monday, every week. My house gets dirty on the weekend from MH being home, etc...and I love to have it nice and cleaned for my week ahead with the girls.

Thursdays, every 3 weeks.
Every other Wednesday morning, I like it being the middle of the week. For just 2 more times.
Did you see my response to you yesterday- shoot me an email or msg on FB.
