Sorry that my email to Dawna went out to the chat listserve. I could have
sworn that I checked and only her email address was in the To box so that I
wouldn't be sending it to everyone on the listserve. Strange!
Macnmum, $130 sounds like a lot for an individual person and not a
company, so I can't understand why they would only put in 3 hours.
My mom has been using someone for decades who she pays $80 for the day.
Maybe that is a good price because of their long relationship and the woman
is getting older as well.
I use a neighborhood person who is good if you are willing to be hands-on
with saying how you want it done and if you point out things she missed or
didn't do well enough, she is willing to do it again. She works slowly so
we pay her by the room instead of by the hour and she takes the time she
needs. We give her a checklist of what needs to be done in each room. I
wouldn't recommend her if someone wants to be hands-off and just come home
to a clean house with close attention to detail. We like using her because
she is willing to work hard, takes feedback and training, and has a good
attitude. She would love more work and has fair prices so let me know if
this fits what anyone is looking for.
