              Hi everyone,


              I am considering getting a PT helper once the contract for my current FT helper ends. HR-issues with a live-in maid apart, the cost savings from using a PT helper will very much depend on how much work the PT helper can achieve on a 4-hour a week basis…or if not, and she has to come in twice a week.

              I have 3 kids below the age of 6, so it’s a fairly insane volume of laundry plus ironing on top of the regular cleaning of the flat.

              Is 4-hours a week reasonable for a household of 5? How much can she really accomplish?

              Grateful to hear your views and thoughts/experience on this.

              Many thanks in advance!!

                4 hours many not be enough. I have a family of 4 including myself, 2 DS and DH. Piles of clothes have to be ironed everyday. I cannot do without a helper. So to me I dont think 4 hours is enough

                    4 hrs a week is definitely not enough if you expect her to do all the housework.

                    If you engage a part-timer for 4 hr p wk, you/ your Mrs/ kids will have to be part-time maids too. i.e. do some of the housework.
                    eg for a family of 5, just the ironing alone will take more than 4 hr p wk, especially if you want all clothing, beddings etc to be ironed.

                        Thanks, POA Teacher. Either that or accept a less tidy home!

                        It just might make better sense to work with a full-time domestic helper living in house after all...
