I have a housecleaner
for 2 hours a day. Does dishes and bathrooms and occasional dusting, and runs some errands, but no laundry or heavy cleaning. And she makes me a sandwich which I eat at my desk in between jobs. What I need is to take some time and get rid of junk I don't need and clothes I don't want, son's clothes that are too small...it's the clutter that is so awful. And no one else can do it for me because they would not know what to do with the stuff.

Has anyone worked as a housecleaner part time?
I was just hired on for about 15 hours a week to supplement my MT income (or lack thereof). I'll be cleaning residential homes. Anyone ever do this for awhile to help pay bills, and if so, how bad is it?? : )
