Is hiring a housekeeper worth it?
Does anyone have any stories of hiring a housekeeper and it successfully helping them keep a tidy home? I feel like I’m drowning in chores and don’t even know where to start to tackle things.

Yes!!! it makes a big difference in my life! I don’t like to clean or wash clothes or laundry and never have time to do it. I have a lady that comes once a week to clean and wash laundry and clean the sheets and change the linens. It allows me to be so much more successful at everything else and it’s worth the money for me. Hope that helps!
I think it can be great for a few reasons. If you are capable of some maintenance chores but you keep putting them off, having a scheduled cleaning service will give you a timeframe to get things done. Granted then you need to make sure it’s scheduled at a convenient time to be a cleaning tornado. It also takes some of the things that fall into your “blind spots” off your plate. For me, there are areas of my house or chores that I genuinely cannot recognize as needing attention. I’ve had to devise coping skills to make sure these blind spots don’t get overlooked for too long, but having someone else come in with fresh eyes and a desire to get things done could be great for your own mental load.
I personally feel like it is, but also make sure not to rely too much on him or her or whatever pronouns they go by and also think about maybe helping them sometimes so then you wont procrastinate cleaning as much!
I used to have one and it helped so much. Thanks for the reminder I think I’ll get one again now I’m working.
