If you can afford it, go for it!
If student loans weren't breathing down my neck so much, I would do it.
One of my pals says it is the best money she spends b/c it saved her marriage. she and her hubby had been getting in fights over the dumbest stuff. he was starting a biz, while she was in school and working part time. getting someone to come in and clean the floors gave them the time to focus on what was more important in life.
I have done some housesitting for an elderly woman who travels a lot and has a housekeeper. She pays for them to come every two weeks, whether she's home or not
. Home girl does NOT clean up b4 they get there. The place is tore up! from one lady and her cat!! But, the maids come in and change the sheets, vacuum, mop, dust, do laundry, dishes, etc. I have never been at her place when they come by, b/c they do it in the early afternoon. she has been using the same 2 people for at least 5 yrs, and they have keys to the house. My only complaint afer housitting for 6wks one time, was that English is not their 1st lang, and they washed ALL my clothes in the hamper, they didn't check labels for dry clean fabrics
Good Luck, and kiss your dust bunnies good bye!
