I can recall how our house had a maid for hire when I was a little kid.
She came a few time a week to do the main house cleaning chores.
That cleaning lady was just the best person as well. She treated me so well and was so kind to me as I grew up. It has stuck with me over all of these years. My parents were rather well to do so my mom was not about to do any serious cleaning around the house. Cooking she’d do although not willingly and not very well frankly. Being a working mother, I too have a really hard time catching up on all the cleaning duties around the house. As a family, we do our best to spilt the house cleaning chores up in a fair way. But the truth be told, non of us could hold a candle to a real cleaning lady. We knew that our house cleaning plan was not exactly sustainable. So, it was time to seriously consider getting a maid service. I really wasn’t too interested in having some nameless commercial cleaning crew come in to clean the house. Maybe use a janitorial service a few times a year for something like floor waxing and stripping. Other than that, a commercial cleaning company was not a weekly option. If I was having a maid in my house, I wanted to know them. She could use our equipment as long as she brought her own cleaning supplies. Fortunately, we got a recommendation from a friend that turned out to be just the right cleaning lady we were looking for.
