Seeking Laundry Helper

Hello,

I know this is going to sound crazy to some, because we live in an apartment AND I'm a work-at-home mom. I just recently started working from home, but this problem started long before that.
We have a problem keeping the laundry from piling up and getting out of hand at our home. I wash tons of clothes and always still have tons more to wash. Its the folding, hanging up and putting away that I can't seem to be able to do. So we'd like someone to come out maybe once a week and do laundry. Some washing & drying, but mainly just the folding, putting away, and hanging up of the clothes. Maybe even a little ironing as well. We do have a full-sized washer/dryer in our apartment, so everything can be done there.

If your interested, please let me know. Thanks so much! ;-D

So What Happened?

Well, I really appreciate everyone who responded to this request. While I'm totally in need of help with the laundry, my hubby isn't on board as yet. We've been updating the furniture in our apartment and doing alot of spending, so right now we're going to hold off on this. But thanks so much to all who replied! You guys are awesome! ;-)

Thanks again!

M.,
Sounds like a great idea to me not crazy at all.
My sister in law has a high school girl come do hers. It was actually a neighbor but might not hurt to ask at the local highschool or if you use a babysitter if she knows of anyone wanting extra cash...

Good luck!

M., That is not nutty. I am T. Linder and I am owner/oeprator of Superior Cleaning. I am located in Frisco and would love to talk to you about taking on this job for you. Would you be interested in having some cleaning done while I am doing the laundry?

How many hours did you plan on? And where are you located? I do have a day open during the week would it matter to you if it was morning or afternoon?

I look forward to hearing from you. Please do not hesitate to call my cell phone or email me. I am unable to check email during the day although, I do have my phone with me. Take Care, T. L. ###-###-#### ____@____.com

Depending on your location, I have a 15 year old that would be interested. Due to my MS she does our laundry and is good at it. We are in east Dallas.

Well, I'm willing to offer help in this area, but I have a couple questions first.... where in Dallas are you located? I'm in McKinney and if the commute is too long, it might not work. Also, I, too am a SAHM and have a 3.5yo son with me all day everyday. Would it be okay to bring him with me?? He does get along well with other children pretty well. Your son may enjoy having a friend to play with, I don't know. How many loads would you have? It would probably take most, if not half of the day.

I have been a nanny for most of my life, so I do have a lot of experience washing other people's clothes and putting them away like they like it done. The only problem I have is ironing- I don't normally iron, but I take the clothes out of the dryer fast enough and hang them so they don't usually need ironing. I haven't actually ironed anything in years. With little ones around, it's kind of dangerous too- probably something better saved for little one's sleepy time. My niece has a horrible burn on her hand from the iron and an accident when she was 1 or 2 (is now 16).
