Do you have someone help you clean?
« on: February 12, 2019, 12:40:03 pm »
I seem to have trouble finding Cleaning people to do things the way I want -  I don't always need someone to do the whole house but more need an ala carte kind of deal but everyone who I have had come in to give me a quote they have a way they do it and don't want to do what I need the way I need it.  I would rather have a per hour fee and then they do what I need that particular day.  I wish I could just do it all myself but I can't due to disability.  Oh well I guess I just keep looking.  My son's girlfriend tries to come once per week cause she is working off money I loaned them but in between I need a hep with a few things here and there like laundry and straightening up etc.  Do you have help because you want it or need it?

I’m sorry you are having difficulty finding someone.  Did you try an agency?  I don’t have anyone cleaning my house. This may sound dumb but I love to clean. I take after my mom she was a clean freak. I’m not as bad as she was but I honestly know if I had a cleaning person I would clean after she cleaned because it wouldn’t be the way I liked it lol

i also need help with housecleaning due to a disability.
I have never found anyone who does things exactly the way i want.
However i have finally learned to let certain things go and fix them when they leave.  The cleaning people are doing things i can't do. The small things they do wrong isn't really a big deal :rainbow: :peace: :wave:
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

I don't have anyone that cleans my house.  Whatever gets clean I have to do it myself.  My cousin does have someone that cleans for her about every other week and she really likes her.  She has cleaned for her for a long time.

Thankfully our new home is small enough that hubby and I share inside and hire out for exterior and windows.

I wish I did!  My husband does what he can but that is limited to his disabilities.  I work 50-60 hours a week so not much energy is left over after work to clean.
Have a wonderful day!

I don't now, but when I had all 4 kids at home and in sports etc. I had a person come in every morning for 1 to 2 hours just to pick up. straighten up and maybe once every other week or so to do some heavier cleaning.  Just because of time, I would rather go to their activities instead of being at home cleaning.  I  had several different people.  I got college kids a couple of times, who did the things I needed the way I wanted, they were not already set in their ways.  Also, like others have said, it was just so nice to have it all picked up that some things I just let them do the way they wanted and changed when I got home.  I also then had time to cook dinners for us all to eat together if I was not always cleaning.  Just doing laundry for all the activities and cooking was a full time job, besides I have always worked 40 to 50 hour weeks.  NowI just have a person come in every other week to do stuff I just do not want to do...LOL

I wish I could afford someone to clean, my husband does what he can and I do laundry and other small things but everything else has just gone to the dogs. I need a really deep clean.

I also need help with cleaning my House. My Mom does this kind of work and when she comes to stay with me on tje Weekends, she will clean my House.  We live about 100 miles apart and she can only come to my House every other Weekend. Since my Daddy passed away, she has been doing planning to move to where I live.
