First day with our cleaning lady...

...and I am in heaven. I can never go back.

And, I thought my house was pretty clean before. It wasn't. I had no idea of the filth we were living in until someone else cleaned.

I love our cleaning lady! once a month our house is so clean. She dusts! I've never dusted in my life.

I need one. How much does it cost and where did you find your person?

That is awesome. We have one every fortnight and she is so THOROUGH. Pity my kids + DH mess it up in record time..

Oh star I love your Aussie talk...I had to google fortnight to make sure I was right.

And I'm so jealous that you have a house cleaner! It must be amazing. I told DH that once I got back to work FT we will be getting one.

Jealous!! We had one for 8 weeks after the baby was born and it was sooo nice.

We are using someone two of my friends use - she charged $160 for today (since it was the first cleaning and again, my house was filthy) and will usually be $110 a visit. We have a 2000 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house.

LOVE my cleaning ladies! We use "The Maids" they send a team of 4 and take 1 hour every other Thursday. We pay $140/visit. The are licensed and insured and only employ legal workers. Using a maid company was important for us b/c they keep keys and clean when we are at work.

We pay $90 for our 1200 sqft 2 bed/2bath

we found her from a flyer in town. She's great! she's usually there for 3-4 hours, first saturday of the month. When we have more money coming in at some point we'll do twice a month.
