For me, an additional $10/month is not much at all.  For her, I realize it may really make a difference.

But - like I said - I'm starting to feel maxed out (on principle) at $120 every 2 weeks.[/quote]

So if she were to ask for $135 what would you tell her?  [/quote]

I would tell her that I can't afford it.  And that I've been considering making a change to someone local (i.e., in my neighborhood).  She commutes to me in Arlington from Silver Spring.  This is all true - except maybe the "can't afford it" part.  I mean, technically, I could.  It's not like I wouldn't be able to buy groceries.  But in all honesty, I'd really like to switch to weekly cleaning and I definitely would need to try to find someone who charged a little less if I did that.

It would be hard, though.  She's been very trustworthy, does a good job, and has cleaned for us for 7 years.  But I would love to find someone with a little more flexibility to come more often - maybe an hourly rate as opposed to a total amount for a total job.[/quote]
