Hello
MY LO just turned 7 months and I work FT, while recently being promoted which has been great but tough becuase the workload is so much more demanding. Taking the advice of many of you on here, I decided to look for a housekeeper to assist with cleaning. I was thinking every other week. The rate I was quoted is 109.00 every 2 weeks.
For those of you who use a housekeeper....is it worth it? Do you think every other week is enough? Does the rate seem reasonable?
Thanks for all your help!
Re: Housekeeper pay
My house keeper is a life saver. With the little time I have with DD, I don't want to spend it cleaning. There is nothing like the feeling of walking home to a clean home. She is worth her weight in gold.
As far as cost, it depends on what you are having done. Every region has different prices, but for a high COL area I pay $60 every 2 weeks for a 1200 sq foot home, one bathroom, 2 bedrooms. She washes the sheets and washes the hard wood floors every other week. She does a deep clean of the bath and kitchen, dusts and vacuums every time.
We got different quotes from different cleaners. The one we picked was highly recommended by friends. She came in with a quote over what we could afford, so we knocked the sheets and floors back to every other cleaning (once a month), which brought her within our budget. HTH!

Life is good!
worth EVERY penny. It keeps me calm, sane, and saves seveal hours a week that I can spend wiht LO rather than cleaning.
I pay $75 a cleaning, and she comes weekly.
