Affordable Cleaning Lady Needed

Help!!! I live in the Oak Park/River Forest, Elmwood Park, Galewood/Montclare area and just lost my cleaning lady. I am 35 weeks pregnant, and because my daughter, that is now two, came almost 4 weeks early, I was told to stay off of my feet as much as possible. This couldn't have happened at a more awful time! I was wondering if any of you know of someone who is responsible and a good worker that might have an opening for every other week. I know the services like Molly Maids are insanely expensive, so I was looking for something a little more affordable.

What can I do next?

I use Lisa from MaidPro on Western/Divsion. We have actually become like friends: she is so great with my son and will even double back on rooms that he has been in since she cleaned and re-tidy :) She also does a great job on the house and has even offered to help me out with laundry while she cleans--one of those people that will go the extra mile. I am a stay-at-home mom so I also love that she can sense when I am open to a chat or when I am...well...not so much in the mood (or when I am working etc.)

I use English Maids. They were recommended by another mamasource member. For my townhouse she charges us $56 for 2 hours it takes to clean. Their rates are between 50-70 dollars or so. She does a good job and the price is very reasonable compared to other companies.

I use English Maids - you can reach them at ###-###-####. My contact there is Donna. Her price was about $60 for 3 hours with one person. Tell her M. H. in Elk Grove referred you.

Hi J.,

I'm available in the evenings Tuesday thru Sunday after 4pm.

I'm not a professional cleaning lady per se, but very neat, well organized, and like things clean and in order.

I do live in Oak Park, so I am close to you already, and it would'nt be a problem getting there.

Anyway, I am a busy mom of two 9 and 15, so I know how things can get a little disorganized from day to day, especially with little ones.

Thanks...

Judy, I am a mom in your area looking for flexible work. I am a great cleaner, super responsible and thorough, take direction well....and if you'd like to try me out one week to see how I do, I wouldn't charge you. If you're happy with my work, we could work out a rate that you felt was affordable for you.

I have got the perfect woman!! She is great and very thorough!! When we first moved here we went thru 3 different ones and she has been with us over a year and I have referred her to more moms on this site. I pay her $90 for bi-weekly and we have 4 bedrooms, living room, great room, 2.5 bath--it takes her 3-4 hours.

Good luck!!
