my life is about to improve 1000%

or maybe 1,000,000% Big Smile

i have re-hired our cleaning person!!!!!! well, actually his wife.

i gave him up when we left our TH because our expenses were about to be increased and I didn't think I could afford it. Then when things got easier, I got pg with Sam, and didn't know what daycare would cost, or how my job was after being on maternity leave 3 mos and dh's company is having issues still...but you know what? we can't keep up with it and now that i have a baby on the floor, it needs to be cleaner - lol! 

he left residential cleaning for corporate cleaning, and his wife took over the houses. she used to come with him on her days off so they could clean in half the time and get some down time together, so I know I'm ok with her too.

yipee!!!!!

  • What's she charge? I can barely keep up and the whole house takes me about 7 hours top to bottom so I'm thinking a cleaning person my be in my future as well. You can pm me if u don't want to post it. Please and thanks

  • That's fabulous, Melanie!
  • her price varies by job - dependent on # rooms, bathrooms, etc.  we had tons of carpeted stairs in our last place which i know were a pain for him to vaccuum and carry al his supplies up and down, so I think that contributed to that price....

    my mom's house is much larger so she pays more. my aunts both use them for probably 15-20 years, so i think they have a different price....

     

  • I'm jealous :)  N has agreed if I actually went back to a normal full-time job (and normal salary) we can get one.  I've even debated the value on my flexible part-time at home schedule because I hate cleaning so much.
  • Can you PM her info and if you dont mind sharing, how much she charges you. I REALLY want someone to come in like once a month and do the washing of things. I can keep up with cleaning up but the good washing cleaning is hard to keep up with. Its never done all at once, so the house never feels "clean". I miss sitting down Sunday afternoon after I cleaned for hours and just taking in my nice clean house.
  • OMG that is awesome.  I need a cleaning person.  I can't keep up working 12 hours a day (that includes commute) I don't want to waste time on the weekend when I could be hanging with DD
