Hello All! This may sound a bit strange but do any of you know of a cleaning service for the home? My parents are getting older and certain health problems prevent them from taking care of regular household chores (laundry, vacumming, dusting etc). My mom does do most of the cleaning etc but a recent illness prevents her from navigating stairs and the laundry of course is in the basement. I am looking for someone to come to their home 1-2 times per week to help maintain the house. They live in bensalem. My parents have 2 dogs so this person must like dogs. They are not fierce creatures and will most likely be outside for most of the time. It is a paying job obviously. I would do it myself but with a new baby and toddler running around you know how that goes. Any suggestions would also be apprecited.
Hi C.,
My sister cleans for a number of families all around Pittsburgh. If you would like i can pass her number and email address on to you just let me know.
Thanks,
A. W.
My husband and I clean houses and do cooking. He is also a CNA. If you want to speak further about it let me know. ____@____.com
Thanks

Have they requested help locally? I bet there is a stay at home mom that would like a part time job and the freedom of being with their child and not having to put them in day care. I have thought about doing this myself but I now have 2 kids at home.
well they might enjoy the grandkids
call their local church and put add in bulletin.
Please be very wary of who you do hire. A pretty well known company reccomended someone for my grandfather. She ended up stealing a lot of money from him. They are so vulnerable when they become elderly. I wish they did not live so far... i could bring my four year old. I hope you find a wonderful caring SAHM :-)
