I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED, BUT I CLEAN/ HELP ORGANIZE HOUSES MYSELF. I TAUGHT PRESCHOOL FOR ALMOST 10 YRS AT MY OLD CHURCH, AND KEPT CHILDREN IN MY HOME FOR ALMOST 14. WHEN MY BEST FRIEND'S SON, WHO I KEPT FROM AN INFANT BEGAN FULL DAY SCHOOL LAST YEAR, I DECIDED THAT SEASON OF LIFE WAS OVER :)SO WITH NO MORE PRESCHOOLERS, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I LOVE WORKING WITH KIDS, BUT YOU DON'T GET PAID MUCH, AND WITH 3 BOYS OF MY OWN, 17,11,&7, I HAVE LESS TIME, BUT NEED TO MAKE MORE MONEY TO HELP TAKE CARE OF THESE GUYS. I'VE TRIED TO STICK TO MY DESIRE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE AND PICK UP MY KIDS EACH DAY,BUT FINDING A JOB THAT HAS THOSE HOURS IS DIFFICULT. I USED TO CLEAN OUR CHURCH FOR ABOUT 7 YRS WITH MY HUSBAND ON THE WEEKENDS AND A COUPLE DAYS A WEEK. THEN A FRIEND WHO HAD SOME PHYICAL ISSUES NEEDED HER HOUSE CLEANED, SO I STARTED CLEANING FOR HER A COUPLE YRS AGO.THEN HER FRIEND NEEDED SOMEONE, AND SO ON AND SO ON. WHEN I COULDN'T FIND A PART TIME JOB THAT MET MY NEEDS, I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS SUPPOSE TO JUST KEEP CLEANING. I HAVE BEEN VERY BLESSED AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO CLEAN SEVERAL HOMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, ANYWHERE FROM ONCE A WEEK TO ONCE A MONTH.AND I'M ABLE TO WORK LESS HOURS OVER ALL THAN WHEN I KEPT CHILDREN AND STILL BE THERE FOR MY KIDS. I TRUELY BELIEVE WE WERE NOT MEANT TO DO LIFE ALONE, AND WE ALL NEED HELP IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THE FAMILIES I CLEAN FOR ARE HELPING ME TO KEEP TO MY DESIRE TO HELP PAY BILLS, BUT STILL BE HOME WITH MY KIDS, AND I CAN HELP THEM BY CLEANING THIER HOME... IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME@ ____@____.com. I'M SURE MY PREVIOUS AND CURRENT FAMILIES WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE A REFERENCE, BUT I NEED TO GET THIER PERMISSION FIRST. MY OLDEST JUST STARTED DRIVING, AND WITH A CAR IN NEED TO GET FIXED UP SO HE CAN DRIVE AND THE EXTRA INSURANCE COST, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT NEEDING TO CLEAN ANOTHER HOUSE, THEN I SAW YOUR QUESTION, SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST OFFER. I LIVE CLOSE TO FIREWHEEL, SO I'M NOT FAR, AND I COULD EASILY DO EVERYOTHER WEEK. IF YOUR INTERESTED, JUST LET ME KNOW. GOOD LUCK WITH THE WEDDING! K.
