[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m uncomfortable with setting the expectation for my male kids that house cleaning is done by someone who is female and has more melanin and probably doesn’t speak English as a first language. We do it ourselves, which means it might be a while between cleaning if friends aren’t coming over. No, I’m not embarrassed.[/quote]

Check out care.com.  My housekeeper doesn't fit this description.

(My house is still a mess sometimes between cleanings though...)

+1  Just treat your cleaners like fellow human beings who are performing a valuable service in exchange for fair compensation (and pay them fairly, of course).  I say this as a white woman whose mother cleaned houses for a living.  My kids know my house cleaner's names, we always talk to our cleaners like professionals and about them respectfully when they are not there. You are making this too complicated, and I don't think you are imparting the lessons you are intending to on your kids.[/quote]

Ding ding ding! This is the right answer![/quote]
