For most people, life is busy. There are never enough hours in the day to combine work, house, children and self, all of which are important, which is why as a leading housekeeping agency London families come to us to find the perfect housekeeper to help things run smoothly and bring back some downtime for themselves. If you have been considering a housekeeper or are just meeting yourself coming back every day and looking for a way to ease the strain, find out why people engage in the services of a housekeeper.
Your job is demanding
Juggling work and home sometimes feels like running a marathon. There is nothing more soul-destroying than the relief of walking through the front door being ruined by the knowledge that the house needs cleaning, dinner needs preparing, and your image of being curled up on the sofa seems like an impossible dream. A housekeeper can ensure the first sight when you open the door is a clean house and the knowledge that you do not have to do anything more.
You are raising a family
Whether your children are newborns or teenagers, your role in raising them should not just be laundry and chaos. You are there to teach, nurture and love them and your housekeeper is more than happy to take care of the mundane chores that build up in a busy family home. Enjoy the children every day rather than stress whether there is a clean PE kit waiting; know that the domestic jobs are taken care of while you focus on growing your little humans.
You don’t like cleaning
Believe it or not, as much as you may hate it, some people thrive on cleaning, and our housekeepers are some of the best you will ever find. Mrs Hinch would be proud of their learning routines and if you hate it, outsource it. Life can be short and busy, so get out there, live your best life, and leave the cleaning to someone who loves it.
Your job takes you out of the country
If you regularly travel for work, your housekeeper is your security guard. Their regular visits will ensure the house maintains a lived-in look, putting off burglars. They can air the rooms, ensure that everything is in place and generally keep a watchful eye while you cannot be there. You can also relax knowing that you will come home to a clean kitchen, freshly made bed and super-chilled living room.
You have an older family member
As we age, our parents and other relatives age. Taking on the running of a second house is a big ask, but you want to support them. Staying in your own home for as long as possible is so good for longevity, but as we age, we cannot always keep up with the chore list. A housekeeper could be a fantastic companion lifeline, cleaning, cooking and keeping the home safe and hazard-free for ageing relatives.
