Housekeeper for Working Family

Updated on January 14, 2007
C. asks from Carrollton, TX

I am stressed, fed up, and tired of feeling guilty about not having time to clean my house! My husband and I work full time and are trying to raise a strong, independent, well rounded toddler. I have finally admitted that I need help keeping my house organized and clean. I need someone I can trust to do a good job and even go the extra mile to do extra projects when requested. I literally cannot make deep housecleaning (toilets, floors, refrigerator shelves, dust bunnies, etc.) a priority. I am killing myself trying to do it all. Does anyone out there have a recommendation of a trustworthy housekeeper that is interested in building a relationship with a young working family of 3? We have 2 cats and a 2300 square foot house in Carrollton.

So What Happened?

I got a first class referral for a woman that has already started to clean my house. I actually called all of the referrals that I received and did a little price/personality comparison and am really happy with the woman that we chose. Thanks to everyone that took the time to respond. And...if you're a working mom and can afford it, I highly recommend finding someone to help with household cleaning. I feel such a relief and my house smells SO good. All is well...goodnight everyone.

Hi C., I feel your frustration!!! We started using Home Cleaning Center of America at ###-###-####. They charge $75/hour and do an initial deep clean. They always send a team of three women and they are great! They clean the house top to bottom. If you have special projects for them, you can ask. There might be an extra fee associated, but I don't know. I am on regular service so I am charged a flat fee of $110 for the whole house or $75 for just the downstairs of the house and my home is 3300 square feet. So I would bet your regular service would be much less than mine, especially if it might be a one-story. Good luck. Tell them C. Pollanen in The Colony referred you.

C.,

I feel your pain, I have three little ones and a License In-Home Daycare. My cleaners are the best. I referred them to 4 other mamasource moms and they love them.

They are a family of four and the work they do for the money they charge is a steal. They are very very trustworthy. When I left for Florida I left them my key to clean the house nothing was missing. Very dependable, trust worthy and very down to earth.

Please call them

Her name is Ire ###-###-####. Leave a messege and they will call you back. They have plenty of references.

Good Luck

Hi C.
I saw your ad and I didn't know if you still needed someone and if it would be on a weekly basis or every other week. I do want to tell you a little bit about my situation, I currently work at a dental office on Mon-Wed 930-600 and on Thurs and Fri from 800-200, I currently clean a few houses in the area and looking to do this full time but it would have to be on thurs or fri after 200. Then of course once I could quite my job and clean houses full time then I would change my day and time. I don't know if would want to work around that kind of schedule or not. I just wanted to give you a heads up first. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you B.

I have a great lady that does my house. Even my husband is impressed, and he is very paticular. I have her strip, wash and remake my 2 girls beds...I just hate doing that :) She is very resonably priced and will come as often as you need. I have her coming every 3 weeks. It is Eli's Cleaning Service and the lady's name is Elizabeth Griffith her number is ###-###-####. Tell her N. B. recommended her. If you need more info email me at ____@____.com Good Luck!

I just saw what the other's said they were paying and I am definitely getting a deal. My house is almost 4000 sq ft and I am paying $100 for them to clean top to bottom every time. That includes base boards and they do lights and plant shelves every other time.

Call Altogether Clean and talk to Jeff Mailey. We live in Lakewood, so I am not sure if he works in Carrolton, but here is the info:

If he cannot take care of your home, he probably can tell you who can.
