I do, but i believe she had all the houses she needs. I can ask her.
I also pass a sign everyday some lady named Tracy who does house cleaning and what not. If you would like I'll get her number off the sign.

I don't, but I'm a little curious. How much does a good housekeeper run?

When I was a kid, we had a really nice older woman who would come in once a week to just do some big stuff -- vacuum, dishes, bathrooms, dusting. It wasn't a lot, but it saved my mom so much energy, plus it gave her extra time to spend with my brother and me.

I use a house keeper for our apt, she runs about $80 a day. She does a detailed clean, and laundry. Ilove her work and she is EXTREMELY trust worthy! I can pass on the info for anyone that wants it.

I have a cleaning service and the going rate is about $80.00 and up for once a week. A lot of people prefer every two weeks. It is myself and one other employee whom I trust with my life. Alot of the services have people come and go every week. I have been doing this for 10 yrs now and I love what I do. I would go out to clean a house and have someone come in and clean mine but they would not do it the way I wanted it done this lasted about a month I would come home just to clean what they said they cleaned..lol..Good luck if you want my information I will gladly pass it on to you or if you have questions about some of the companies I will let you know what I know. I don't put any company down we are all trying to make a living and some of us are crazy and enjoy this kind of work..

I would love to get a housekeeper so I wouldn't have to spend time cleaning late at night or spend time cleaning instead of playing with my daughter. But I do worry, like someone mentioned before, that I would go and re-clean everything! I am kind of particular about how my house gets cleaned.

I would love to get a housekeeper so I don't spend hours cleaning while my son is napping...oh wait...I don't! LOL! I wouldn't re-clean but I would clean before she came and then exclaim how dirty my house is...I'm one of those.
