[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you asking if you can hire a cleaning lady/housekeeper? Of course you can if your finances permit.  I'm a SAHM with young children and have a housekeeper 3x/week. She does the deep cleaning/tidying, laundry for the entire family and some food prep.  I recommend it.  Of course, with young children at home - especially the 2-4 set, even with a housekeeper I find myself constantly picking up, cooking and doing food prep -- but it is way less this way.[/quote]

Did you hire someone through a service?  Or independently (and you pay her taxes etc)?  Was it hard to train her?  I'm thinking about doing this but not sure if it's worth the effort.  [/quote]

I found her originally through our neighborhood listserv -- she began cleaning once/week and as I had more children and got to know her further, we added days.  I recommend going through listservs, asking friends, posting an ad here with specific responsibilities -- and maybe Craigslist. She is also a former nanny so I feel comfortable leaving her while baby is napping to do a school pick-up, which is so nice as I have to wake baby up on the days she is not here.  Just makes everything run so much more smoothly and allows me to focus on children more -- highly recommend it!  [/quote]
