Why do people hire housekeepers in the first place?  I have 2 kids. None of them went to daycare or had in home daycare. I stayed home and took care of them until school age. Some housekeepers are evil. RUN! Some are from the Marine world. It was hard staying home for years, but I sacrificed for my kids. In Africa when people get rich the first thing the women look  for is housekeepers. I will never hire one. I will take care if my house alone. No one cook for my husband only me.
