XP: If you have a maid, come in!

I think it's time to hire a maid.  I feel like I just don't have the time to keep up with housework the way I want to, or need to.  So some questions if you have a maid...

What are their prices like?

Who do you use and how did you find them?

How often do they come?

What do they do each time they come?

Re: XP: If you have a maid, come in!

  • We pay $80 for our 3100 sq ft house once a month. They do bathrooms, floors, dusting, etc. I found him through girls on the knot :)
  • Before I moved, I had one. She was $50 every 2 weeks. I found her  thru coworkers who also used her. She dusted, cleaned the floors (carpet and wood and tile), did dishes, laundry, cleaned bathrooms, changed sheets on the beds...she was great! At the time I was single and kidless, so I guess I had time to clean. However, I didn't want to spend wknds cleaning, and was tired after work. It was worth it for me so I could spend free time doing other things.

  • What area do you live in? I am also looking for a maid. I live off of Mockingbird and the tollway.
  • Maids, that would be a wonderful answer to my problem these days!  We used to have one back when I had a job....oh how I miss those days.  She did the basics, bathrooms, sweeping & mopping, vaccum, etc.  She was about $100 per week and our house is 4,000 sq. ft. 

    Now I need someone to dust the blinds, ceiling fans, and do the down and dirty cleaning so it will probably be more.  I am in the Keller area, if anyone has any recs. 

  • I'm in the Wylie/Sachse area.  I'd love some recs. if anyone is willing.  I've found tons of people online, but would much rather go with a personal reference/word of mouth type thing.  I don't need very often...maybe just once or twice a month.  I have no problem with the day-to-day stuff like vacuuming and sweeping.  It's the details like baseboards, ceiling fans, bathtubs, etc. that are really getting to me and I just don't have the time for it anymore!

  • I could find her # again I'm sure, but I lived in the NRH area, so I don't think that is near where you are. Sorry.
  • What are their prices like?  $85 a week

    Who do you use and how did you find them?  recommended by a friend

    How often do they come?  weekly

    What do they do each time they come?   floors, bathrooms, kitchen, change and wash sheets, dust, vacuum, etc.

     

    My mother has a maid that does everything, including her ironing.  I'm not sure how much she charges, but she's a fantastic person and has been working for my mom for years (at least 10 yrs I think).  She lives in Garland, so not far from where you are.  Let me know if you're interested in her name.
