[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope this help, OP. I have not needed a childcare person because I have been a  SAHM since my kids were born.  But, over the years, I have employed many kinds of help at home. A few of these people started their gig work after starting at my home.

- Cleaner - Twice a week.  
- General hourly help lady - All purpose  - 3 hour minimum. 
- Part time chef - once in 2 weeks, 6 hours minimum.  Semi-prepped our meals for 2 weeks as well cooked for parties. 
- Home caterer for a few dishes - as needed. Price per tray of food. Or when having house guests
- Party lady - comes to warm, serve, cleanup, cook during parties - 6 hr minimum
- Landscaper - lawn-mowing, mulching, leaf removal and other gardening jobs. 
- Coaches and tutors - at home.

I have also employed sporadically the following at home services (word of mouth - gig work). 
- Hair cuts, shave and pedicure - stylist comes home to cut everyone's hair once a month, takes care of my ILs pedicure and trimming their toe nails
- Masseuse - Daily for a few weeks after childbirth
- Laundry service - either at laundromat or have a laundry person pick it up and launder it at their own home. 
- Home car detailing service
- Clothes alteration work

Not OP but I am jealous! Part time chef sounds amazing. [/quote]

Yes. It really works extremely well.  You do have to do some prep,  work with a menu with the chef and be organized. Because, there is the aspect of getting all the grocery shopping done, checking  the ingredients, making sure that there is space in the fridge and freezer etc. [/quote]
