Hello Mamas,
I love having all you women out there looking after me.....so here is another area I need help in....my husband is starting a new job and I will need some help around here....I have been looking for a housecleaner to come biweekly, so far some highly recommended people on mamasource have a 'waiting list' due to high business volume...great, but does not help me right now. Some haven't returned my call. Anyway, I have not used a housecleaner for regular service before....and I am more apprehensive about who I let in my home every other week....maybe I am paranoid but I want positive energy in my home....I hope to find someone and stick with them instead of switching off and on.
Some questions:
Do I use an individual or company?
Should they charge by job or by the hour?
Other info I need to be aware of?

I am also looking for lawn service in the Spring, but thought if you knew a well trusted company for that too, that would be great. Thanks for your help...I know this should not be this hard. Should it? LOL.

Hi K., I'm not sure which ones you have tried, but have you called Betty with Construction Clean Pros? She may be one with a wait list, but it is well worth it. Her prices are the best and they do quality work. She is very friendly and is almost more like a friend when she comes here to clean. Her partner, George, is wonderful too - two great people. As for lawn service, we used to pay a company a lot to mow our grass, but when we moved, we just continued using the guy that was here before. MUCH cheaper for the same work. I would go with an individual over a company unless you need all the extras. Just ask your neighbors who they use. Good luck.

I would highly recommend my housecleaner. I like things cleaned a certain way and this is the first housecleaner I have had who I feel very comfortable with. She does a great job cleaning and if there is something you like a certain way, she is great about remembering and you don't have to remind her. She is very trustworthy. I don't have to worry about hiding my purse or putting away jewelry. I found her through mamasource. I love this site! She speaks Spanish but understands some English. She is very eager to please. Her name is Fanny and her cell # ###-###-####. Hope this helps!

I just signed on with Molly Maids and they did a great job. I like the accountability of having a reputable service. I will be paying $100 every other week for a 2600 sq ft house.

Hi K.,

I use a wonderful woman named Myra to clean my house twice a month. She has open availability. I have been using her for years. She is a great cleaner and is very honest and trustworthy. She has a key to my house so she can come while I am at work. I pay her $65 each time she comes for 2100 sq ft. She is in Plano. ###-###-####.

As far as lawn service call Chris from C and B Lawns. He is the best!!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about him. I work for a property management company and they started using him for our properties too. ###-###-#### He is in Plano too, but he covers a pretty large area.

I found mine by asking neighbors and have been very happy with them. That way you can get an idea of how they work if you visit your neighbor after the cleaners have been there, or even try to meet them when they're there. Good luck!

Hello K.,

Have you tried asking people at church? The idea of asking your neighbors is great. I'm actually considering also using my neighbor's cleaning lady. I've seen her there for the past 9 years. so that counts for something! Good luck! ~C.~
