How is this different from any old cleaning service? I’m here to help you bridge this specific time in your life, and I know the ins and outs. I’m happy to wash cloth diapers or baby bottles and clean alongside your chatty toddler. If you bring me on prenatally, we can work as a team to set up your nursing station, clean out the baby room, or sort hand-me-downs.

Why I Do It

I love to clean and organize (especially when its not my house). I’ve worked in housekeeping on and off over the years, and I always raise my hand to do the bathroom when I’m helping with a friend’s move-out clean. Everyone’s home has periods, whether days or years, when things are messier than you prefer. But most of us feel at peace when everything is in its place, and we can’t always do it alone. Whether you’re expecting a new baby and just haven’t had the time to nest, or your little one has arrived and you need a friendly face to get the sticky stuff off the coffee table while you take a nap, I’m delighted to step up.

When I Do It

I am not a full-time housekeeper and I don’t offer a regular cleaning service. I offer one or two visits either prenatally or postpartum, depending on whether you want to work with me on an hourly basis or purchase a cleaning package. I schedule cleanings Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Depending on what tasks are on your agenda, you may need to be home and available for check-ins for some or all of my visit.

How Much

• Hourly: $65 an hour. Four hour minimum.
• Package: $850. 15 hours of cleaning, four hour minimum per visit.
