I'm overwhelmed and undermotivated to clean my house. Anyone know of anyone who would be willing to spend a few days or even hours with me decluttering? I'd like to pay an hourly rate if possible. Thanks!
I would do a possible trade for services. I would like to help you in return for some swim lessons for my two toddlers (2 and 3). I have Friday afternoons off and could help then. I live in Spring and Work as an executive secretary for an engineering firm. I have a step daughter who is thirteen, a three year old boy, and a two year old girl.
Dayna, I'm not sure if you are looking for housekeeper help or did you need someone to help you declutter and organize your home? If its the latter then I have a solution for you. But first I have to add we have all been there. And you really need to lower your standards as far as keeping a clean house. But I also know how you feel when you look around your house and things are all over the place and they just seem like they keep plying up. About a year and a half ago, I hired a professional organizer, Ellen. I found her on the internet and she has her own website and references. I worked with her on my kitchen and my garage and my laundry room. It was well worth the $50/hr (that's was her rate back then, I don't know what it is now). But I have to tell you it was all so worth it. We labled everything, and put things in groups and it has made picking up and putting things away so much easier for me and my hb. If it is all labled he knows where to put it, when things don't have a home that's when it gets tricky. My bestfriend was a kindergarten teacher and when she came to visit me for my son's birthday about 2 years ago, she asked what I wanted for his birthday and I told her, I wanted help with his toys. And she helped me organize his toys into categories and she made kid friendly lables that had pictures of the toys, and I have to tell you, my son put things away better than his father does. He knows where everything is and when he is looking for something he knows where to get it. All his toys are in great shape and we're not missing pieces because things always went back to where they belong. OK, sorry for being so long.
