I've been leary to have strangers in our home but after having our second child I just can't keep up. I didn't know anyone personally so I just went with an agency and a group of 4 people come. They have come twice and it has been life changing. No more stressing about a dirty house and my husband doesn't have to hear me nag! I convinced my husband by saying it's a quality of life issue and he won't have to hear me complain anymore:) thankfully we are in a financial position to have this luxury (that also took convincing my husband) but even he's impressed! You should go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-cleaning-person#post-1949571 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 15:47:56 +0000 blackbird 1949571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had the worst luck with groupon cleaners being flaky </p> <p>Can you check Angie's List or Yelp? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-cleaning-person#post-1949570 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 15:47:33 +0000 Adira 1949570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: I should do something like that too - our house definitely needs the help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-cleaning-person#post-1949559 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 15:43:59 +0000 cheert16 1949559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we really can't- but I gift it to myself every few months!

Too much $$ for not-very-good cleaning.</p> <p>If I could find a reliable person, not a service, who charged a reasonable price for what they do I would be on it in a second. Last last place I had come quoted me $160 for our 2 bedroom condo. And I was desperate so I paid it....and they sucked. They sent a 7 months pregnant lady to clean, accompanied by a thug looking guy who sat on my couch and did nothing. I felt *awful* about the woman cleaning. I'd wanted a cleaning service because I'd just had my LO (she was maybe 8 weeks old at the time) and I had the flu and we had out-of-town guests coming to stay and I just knew I wouldn't have time to clean and shop for groceries.</p> <p>But I *still* would have rather cleaned it myself than had a heavily pregnant woman bending over and trying to scrub my kitchen floor on her knees. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-cleaning-person#post-1949201 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:46:48 +0000 cheert16 1949201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried a few from Groupon and LivingSocial- I acutally have a new company coming next week- ill let you know how they are because I am pretty sure they service your area too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-cleaning-person#post-1949175 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:34:13 +0000 blackbird 1949175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked a friend and she recommended a company she uses.

I'm curious how you ended up finding your cleaning person. Did you go through a few before settling on one you love or did you just pick one and stuck with them? </p>
