[quote=Anonymous]I did not read other responses. 3 kids, 5, 3, and a baby. We have a nanny, a housekeeper (cleaner really), and a personal assistant/house manager. The housekeeper comes three evenings a week. We specifically asked for evenings so she could clean up after dinner and we could put the kids to bed and come down to a clean kitchen. I have to admit we save our messiest meal prep for the nights she is there. One night we have her come is Sunday because that is the only day we don’t work and we want to just relax as a family, maybe have friends over, and we go into the week having had a restful Sunday (our Sabbath). The house manager does all house-related tasks. Organizing (I am prone to clutter), scheduling deliveries, maintenance, taking stock of what we need and adding to an Amazon wishlist, helping with parties (we like to entertain). Unfortunately she isn’t great with online/computer tasks so now we have a virtual assistant and the house manager works less (her choice due to family circumstances).

When the baby was a newborn we also had a night nanny. I’m all about sleep training too.

It doesn’t all work perfectly but most important to me is that it frees my husband up to spend more time with us. I also work but in a very flexible job from home.

Cleaner and house manager found on care.com. Virtual assistant found through a national company. [/quote]
