[quote=Anonymous]I will be moving back to the DC area next year after living overseas.  We are so fortunate here to be able to afford a part-time helper who cooks, cleans, does some grocery shopping and laundry, and is present for our kids after school (now 11 and 12 years old, so they don't need a lot of supervision).

I would love to find some sort of similar arrangement next year, maybe 3-6pm or 3-7pm a few nights a week, just to have extra help at home as my husband and I will both work full-time.  However, I'm most familiar with people in the DC area hiring nannies--who focus on child care for younger kids--or a cleaning service that comes for a few hours every other week.

Does anyone else have this sort of arrangement with someone who does a little bit of everything?  How did you find such a person?  (Seems like care.com forces you to choose between childcare vs. housework)  Money is definitely a factor, as we are both federal employees.  How much should I expect to pay?

Thanks for any experiences, advice, etc![/quote]
