[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, here's my suggestions:
Pay for 4-5 hours per week.  During that time, have the housekeeper (and make it clear it's a light housekeeping position) do the following:
1. Wash/dry/fold laundry (putting it away will take you and DS6 5 minutes)
2. Make mini frittatas or mini quiches (they can be put in the fridge for Mon-wed, freezer for thurs-sun, warmed up in the microwave)
3. Batch prep/cook dinners so that you pull one out of the freezer and pop it into the oven/crock pot/microwave.
4. Clean the bathrooms (toilets, sinks, mirrors, floors).
5. Vacuum high traffic areas.

At 6, your son is old enough to learn to put away folded clothes, microwave a prepared breakfast and then clean up after himself (including the floor!), empty the dishwasher and load the dishwasher.  Give him the tools to be successful by showing him how and having him show you, then give him a morning checklist.[/quote]

Are you saying that the person should be able to do all the above in 5 hours every week?[/quote]
