Do you have a housekeeper?

As an analyst in IBD, you probably know that spare time is rare. How do you manage your household? Do you have a housekeeper?

I feel like having an appartement in a prime location @ 2K a month (while single) + utilities etc. takes such a big chunk out of the salary that there isn't too much disposable income for stuff like a housekeeper - so I do my laundry myself, I have a roomba, and do some cleaning. However, this takes up a lot of my spare time. How do you guys keep up with stuff like this? Do you have a housekeeper? Something Else?

 

I live in a 1BR apartment paying c.2k per month. I usually pay for wash and fold service about once every 2-3 weeks (less than 20 dollars). I don't have a housekeeper because I am not home enough to make the type of mess that justifies a housekeeper, although I do know some other analysts who hire cleaning ladies once every 1 or 2 weeks. This is usually because they have 2-3 other roommates, and bathrooms and kitchens can get pretty gross in those types of situations.

I do but I always end up spending like 10 - 15 minutes cleaning up random stuff before she gets here. Weird.

It's the most frustrating phenomenon I've come across. I have a family and we get a cleaning service every other week and the time I spend cleaning up for the cleaning service is about the amount of time they spend cleaning.

 

Holy shit, tell me about it. My gf gets annoyed with me for not cleaning up... for the cleaning services.

Yes, this takes up a lot of spare time. I don't have a housekeeper but, I hire them occasionally when I needed. I am so happy with their cleaning service. They provide us a lot of services list like:
Basic House Cleaning
Deep House Cleaning
Commercial Cleaning
Pressure Washing
Sanitize and Disinfecting Services
Move-in/out Cleaning
And more
All I can say is awesome. The cleaners are very professional, and they cleaned my house thoroughly.
