Our First Experience Hiring a Cleaner for our Busy Family Home: How It Went and What’s Next!

In this video, we share our experience of hiring a cleaner for the first time. With two young kids, keeping the house organized has been a challenge, so we decided to get some professional help. We talk about how our first meeting with the cleaner went, what we discussed, and our plans moving forward to keep our home tidy and stress-free. It’s a new step for our family, and we’re excited to see how it works out! Join us as we take you through the process and share our thoughts.

Having someone to clean up the house could reduce your stress.

I absolutely agree! Mess definitely stresses me out 😅

That was successful then. I wonder if you hired a graduate from the Marie Kondo school of tidiness. Marie made a big splash with her books on how to get and stay organized. I am bipolar when it comes to tidiness. I binge on messiness for considerable lengths of time, when all horizontal surfaces, including the floor, are fair game for storage of all kinds (objects, files, magazines,…). Then I switch into high cleaning and organizing gear, complete with purging all unnecessary items, shredding sensitive documents and donating things I can no longer see a use for. Ironically, one of the items I once donated was Ms. Kondo’s book, which after three chapters and a quick browse of the rest, seemed too structured for me!
I knew I hit bottom when prior to hiring someone to clean the house I did some significant pre-cleaning, because I thought it was too messy even for a cleaning service!

That's exactly what we did! When the cleaner was coming, we ran around cleaning beforehand so she wouldn't judge us haha. And I (Jo) have a similar pattern with you - I'm messy messy messy, and then suddenly I go into hyper cleaning mode and throw tons of things out. Usually I end up getting distracted half way through though and end up in a worse position than when I started... Don't love that habit haha!
