Any of you ladies pay for in home help like a private chef or maid?

Question

I’m thinking of hiring someone to come 3-4 times a week, and I don’t know what something like that would cost. I work full time... I’m in school part time, and I barely eat because I don’t have time because I try to give my extra time to my infant and toddler. Oh, and I’m a single mom that struggles with depression, anxiety and ADHD, so I’m already unorganized.

Answer

If you could afford it, do it!! I wish I could. That would be awesome lol

Answer

Crock pot, insta pot, air fryer and meal prepping saved me. And free grocery pickup! If you can afford a cleaning person, do it but I’m thinking both would be expensive and cook would prob be more than someone who cleans

We have a housekeeper come every two weeks to clean our 3 bed/2 bath home in the greater SF Bay Area. We pay $125 each visit. Totally worth it on our end. I dont want to spend my valuable weekends cleaning.

We have a cleaner come once every two weeks. We pay $25 an hour and she brings all of her own supplies, so it costs us $150 a month. I love it! We fight so much less often.

Answer

I actually pay my sister to come clean my house once a month. I spot clean in between her big cleans. She used to clean professionally. She charges $100 for each cleaning. I’m sure that’s less than a service since we’re relatives.

Answer

Oh I want one!! We can’t afford one though. 
You have a lot going on. It’s logical to look for assistance in one of those areas so you can focus more on the other areas. My pastor has a “life assistant” someone who helps with things she can’t budget into schedule as well. Things like picking up kids, washing dinner or prepping it, laundry.. that way she can focus on her work, speaking engagements, book writing, pastoral services, family time. Sometimes we have so much we need to clear the fat. 
That said, it also has to fit budget, so see if you can make it work but if not utilize family and friends to babysit while you get those things done. For me crockpot recipe, prepping our meals. Keeping it simple all help. Look up fly lady of wanting house help advice. She is a great inspiration for someone who might not naturally organize and breaks tasks down into Easy daily tasks and routines. 
No matter what you choose, you got this mom.

Answer

Once a week!
