Hiring just the right housekeeper can be life-altering for the busy family. Now this may seem to be a little over-the-top, but I am serious. Think about your life-whether single, a couple or a family-you have no time. No time to keep your home as organized or clean as you would like. No time to do the smaller tidying jobs that would make a huge difference.

“I am still learning about my home. If you can’t do it yourself, find good service people and treat them well.” — Terry (mum to our Human Resources Coordinator, Louisa)

Do you ever casually go about your day, popping into the kitchen for a little peanut butter toast and then the next thing you know you’re turning over the toaster oven because it’s been so long and you just can’t take the crumbs anymore?

I am not a domestic work fan!I’m a lazy housewife and I’m totally opposed to those obsessed cleaners who can spend hours in cleaning and rearranging a home. But I also like to have a clean and tidy home. The scattered home depresses me and it squeezes my energy. And when you have two kids and a husband who is like you regarding housework the result is … messy.

About 7 years ago I started wondering where the lazy housewife and the obsessed cleaner meet. It turned out that this happens in the most unexpected place of all… The timer!
