We have 4400 sq. ft., she comes twice a month, stays from about 7:30-1:30 and we pay her $150 each time. She is great, we tip a lot of the time just so she stays with us. [ Reply | More

I truly am ashamed/embarassed. I have a few newish moms friends I have known for months now and have not told about or or showed them where we live! I'm such a nut about it sometimes. Grew up mid-class, avg. Feel ridiculous sometimes. dh loved the house when looking last year, I like it but feel like it is too much/not really us. 1 dd, planning on one more. [ Reply | More

I think we definitely overpay. $75 for our 650 sq ft 2-bedroom but she only cleans one of the bedrooms (we don't have her clean the kids' room). I think we really overpay. [ Reply | More

i don't think you do. There is a minimum you are going to have to pay (regardless of the size of your apt) in order to make it worth their travel time and trouble. I would think $75 probably is the minimum. Might get away with $60 if you lived in a studio and didn't have dc. [ Reply | More

interesting--thanks. Just in talking to others I always feel like they're paying the same for way more space. She also charges extra to do inside of the fridge, windows etc and she does no laundry. [ Reply | More
