Hi there,

I got my cleaning lady way back when I was working because I was burning the candle at both ends and after 2 burn-outs I chose to relax on the weekends. I was fortunate to have someone in our church family who diud houses for a living so I never worried about allowing a stranger in my stuff. I was grateful to already have her when I had my stroke. I was just one detail I didn't have to deal with along with installing grab bars in the bathtub etc. Allison is really a great housekeeper and the house smells so good after she has cleaned. She uses basic cleaning products and most are environmentally friendly. She is extremely patient with our vacuum cleaner which gets tempermental at times.

You won't regret it and forget the guilt about helping especially if you are paying for it. I am usually out when she comes so this is not a problem for me.

best,

Pat

As a 20 year survivor, it makes me feel good to have someone help and do things I can't. Its definitely not a power trip - it just helps rellieve the guilt, and in the long run, it really helps
