House Cleaner Recommendation

[monsterz]

Anybody have a recommendation for a house cleaner in the Allston area?   My sister needs some help as my BIL has been in the hospital for the past week and it doesn't look like he is getting out anytime soon.  She has said she needs to have her house cleaned and groceries delivered and while I can't do that in person I can hire somebody to do it   Any recs would be appreciated.

I'm sorry about your sister/BIL. I don't have any recommendations for house cleaners in that area though .

I know Stop & Shop has peapod for delivery. I also know that the one near me now also has grocery pickup at the store which may be slightly easier if she is running in and out between appointments and such. There are designated spots and you pull in and they grab your bags that you preordered, no getting out of the car necessary.

I don't have a specific cleaner to recommend but I started using Merry Maids in the last few months and they have been fine. Nothing amazing, but definitely gets the job done.

I've also used Peapod, Stop and Shops delivery service which has been great - super reliable and decent products.

Thanks. I placed an order on Peapod yesterday and it will be delivered this evening. We also found a cleaner. We tried Merry Maids but they said they wouldn't do a one off cleaning without going in first to provide an estimate. My sister found somebody else that is able to go in this weekend.

We also crowd sourced some meals for them through next week.

In positive news the doctor's finally figured out what is wrong so now my BIL can get better.
