    I have left several messages but she has not returned my call. Maybe she is on vacation... Will try to reach her on Monday.

    Just for a frame of reference my house is only about 1100 sq ft and sorta cluttered. I have one bedroom, 1 bathroom, 2 offices, a kitchen and livingroom. I moved from a house more than double in size and am trying to downsize. I have some boxes here and there. She charges me $60 every other week while Merry Maids charged me $80. I have vacuuming, floors washed, microwave cleaned out, dusting (probably the most time consuming part because 1- no insulation under the house and I get a lot of dust and 2- mission style furniture with LOTS of nooks and crannies and glass), change linens, mirrors, windowsills. She also washes the linens she takes off the bed and they are in the dryer dry when I get home.

    As you see different circumstances have different prices. I have a neighbor who pays $25 a week for her cleaning. Dishes washed. linens changed, sweep, mop and dust. Her house is about the same size as mines and she has a dog. I do not have a dog (pet households usually pay a little more)

    Also I would like to point out that when you hire your help make sure you have an understanding of what gets done every time, what gets done evey other time and what gets done every so many visits ( like the fridge or stove).

    She did call me back and is coming by the house Thursday evening. She told me she was a "clean freak" - almost obsessively so. My husband will LOVE this girl. I knew when I married him he was this way - he knew I wasn't!!!! A little dust doesn't bother me - it drives him crazy!!!!!! Oh well - we all have a quirks!

    UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks to everyone who responded to me regarding my search for a housekeeper. Several of you sent me the name of the same person - who I called; scheduled a visit so she could see what she was getting into; and then scheduled a date for the "first clean".

    All I can say is WOW! She is very reasonable in her prices; did a great job; and didn't seem to mind when I called her the next day to ask if she could do a few things a little different next time! :hurray:

    Can someone please PM the name of the lady who you all recommended here for deep cleaning your house (assuming she still gets an A+ rating).

    If you weren't given Anna's info, shoot me a PM. She is AMAZING. I've been using her for over a year. She comes every week and I can't say enough good things about her. She lives locally (off Josephine) and has been the best person I've ever used (and I've had several other individuals and services). Her prices are fantastic and she is super-dependable. She has a key to my house and I love coming home from work to a clean house.

    Would love information too. Live out towards Archer Lodge so do you all think travel is an issue. Also does she do late afternoon cleans like between 4-5?

    I clean my own apartment, but since the body is your temple, I have a girl who comes in a couple of times a week.
