    I got a house cleaner!

    Susie inspired me to search for a person to help clean my house because of her post the other day. I went on Craigslist and there was my Angel just waiting for me! The ad read as if it was meant just for me. She even lives about two miles from me!

    I called her up and explained how horrible the condition really is in my house but she kept saying she could handle anything and was really looking for a "big" job like mine. I had her over today so she could really see how bad it really is and make sure she is up for the task at hand. She says she is. She is going to start Friday!

    Funny thing, I was telling her how Jamie lives up in Northern Va and she said that her sister used to live up in Norther Va in a little town called...just wait...Stafford Va! Thats where Jamie lives!!! Small world. She lived right off the same road Jamie lives off of too! We just got so tickled over that.

    Woot Woot!!!! I know many deserving moms I'd love to see have a cleaner. But you're at the top of my list. All the better that she is so nearby and you two sound like you clicked

    Re: I got a house cleaner!

    I checked out Craigslist and found this lady who is doing it in her spare time and only charging $7 an hour which is incredibly reasonable if you ask me. I was actually going to post an ad offering $10 an hour but saw this ad first.

    She isnt out of a company or anything like that. She lives with her mom and helps take care of her mom so she is looking to try and pick up several clients she can work for to make some spending money.
