[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, deep cleaning includes the once-per-month tasks like windows, walls, cleaning the inside of the fridge and freezer, etc.  Regular cleaning (for me) is weekly and involves cleaning the microwave, showers, oven, light switches and door handles, etc.  To me, light cleaning is the once (or more) per day wipe down for the toilet seat, stove and counter, sinks, etc.  Tidying is not the same as cleaning, as I can clean the counter by picking up everything the kids dropped on it, wiping it down, then promptly putting all the papers and projects back.  To me, a housekeeper does the normal and light cleaning and maybe some tidying.  Cleaners do normal and deep cleaning, no tidying.[/quote]

This is super helpful. We currently have a weekly team of two that comes and cleans the whole house. Our nanny will do laundry, tidy kids things, cook and sweep/vacuum high traffic areas, and drive kids around. We have the opportunity to switch to an individual who could come for set hours daily for housekeeping, organizing and laundry, and maybe some food prep.  Are these typical responsibilities? What are expected rates for this type of service?  Is it a reasonable role for someone else to come and help with getting kids to activities, oversee homework, feed kids, help with bedtime?[/quote]
