[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP based on everything you’ve posted you are looking for a combination of services:

- weekly maid service. Will not organize and will not pick up intensely messy places but will  scrub bathrooms, kitchens, etc.

- executive function coach. Will work with your DD to help her develop strategies.

- organizer. Expensive, not a regular service. There are organizers that specialize in hoarders (versus just clutter). Will establish a baseline that the executive coach can help your DD function in.

- hoarding-experienced therapist. Your DD has experienced severe trauma and hoarding can be an outcome. It’s great that she has a job. A therapist can help her work on coping tools. [/quote]

This answer is involved but is absolutely correct.
Also you need to think about what your goals are here.
Not having your house trashed? Having your kids be functioning adults as long as there is a (by US standards) ridiculously high level of housekeeping help? (This option will cost someone a fair amount--in the US, housekeeping service labor is not particularly cheap.) Having your kids be functioning adults with only the amount of housekeeping help that they are able and willing to hire and manage? Having your kids be functioning adults w/o their mommy coming in to do their housekeeping for them?[/quote]
