Cleaning lady I mean. Really cleans - doesn't need job, just likes to clean. Way over qualified for job, loves to clean. Was here for 5 hours today for same price as always, we laughed and talked AND she washed baseboard without being asked! Others did A,B and C as told by boss. She is flexible, does what needs doing and is a Monica like person from "Friends". She knows how to clean. And she wants to dye my hair, give me a shower if needed (right now I doubt it) she likes the cats and dog and they like her Hope it stays great. Finally, after a long string of not so great ones, one that cleans like it was her own house. And we talk and laugh.

Congrats, Does she have broom, will travel??

Congratulations! It's such a drag trying find a good one. Send her down my way next, I'm looking for a bi-monthly miracle myself.

I am growing frustrated with my girls. I have had them several years now, and one just had a baby. Since being past the 5 month preggo line quality has dramatically gone down hill. I am about to begin a new search.

Its an awesome feeling when they get it.

Yahoo! That's great, Kicker. I hope it continues that way and it all works out for you.

That's great! She sounds like a keeper. Better put her number on speed dial!

I just had to fire my new cleaning lady because: 1) I dont need to know where my "new" green towels are because I already have plenty of towels! 2) As she grabbed my wheels-on-meals dinner out of the fridge, I asked her to not throw it in the trash as I wanted it for dinner and she told me NO! She be taking it home for her becuz I had plenty of food! Haha-I didnt know pepsi,tea and milk made for too much food! 3) She emptied the dirty dishwasher 6 times!! 4)Washed the inside of the toilet bowl and THEN used the brush to clean the toilet seat-haha-that cost me a pretty infection straight to the ER!! 5)Used 1/2 bottle of GAIN detergent-82 load size-on 2 wash loads!! She was very entertaining-I will really miss her - LOL-ALOT!!!

Oh my goodness that's horrible! I would love a good cleaning lady, just without the bill. Do you think we can find one of those?

Seriously though I'm glad you found a good one, they are hard to come by. Especially since most people starting the generation just before me have NO work ethic. It drives me nuts, I just want to smack them! Okay sorry, but congrats.

Sheesh Tresa, Scarrrrrrry!!! I hope you reported her, if she was part of an agency. People who take advantage of the ill/handicapped, have no place in my home.

And that's one of the big reasons, I don't want a stranger in my home.

I'm glad you sent her packing..

I'm so glad you found someone reliable. What a blessing!!

I hired housekeepers too, finally! I got their business card at work, a husband and wife team.

They gave me a low rate if I de-clutter beforehand. All I need them to do is clean bathrooms, sweep/mop floors, clean up kitchen, dust and vacuum. It means so much to me, and for $90 once a month. It's a good deal and they can do it in less than two hours if I de-clutter first. I pass on their name as a reference too. I pay in cash. I wish I had done this years ago. I feel better when my house gets a good cleaning. And I don't have the energy to get it done myself.
