[quote=Anonymous]Start with making a list of what you want someone to do and approximately how much time it will take, then put in an ad hiring someone for that amount of time. For example, if you want her to do the grocery shopping, make dinner 5 days a week, and clean the kitchen, then you need to allow, weekly: 0.5 hours to commute to and from grocery store 1 hour to shop 0.5 hours to put groceries away 3 hours to make 5 dinners 2.5 hours to clean kitchen/wash cookware x 5 That’s 7.5 hours. If you also want her to spot clean the bathrooms daily, do the laundry, make beds, water plants, sweep the walk, etc. then add in time for that. Personally, I did the deep cleaning myself. I felt weird about asking someone else to clean my bathrooms. But I asked her to keep the kitchen clean, vacuum the main areas of the house, etc. I would also allow a few hours a week for things that just come up. There is always something that takes extra time. [/quote]
