When to hire a maid?

Though all tasks should be done by everyone sometimes it is not possible to accomplish it on our own.

Here are some exceptions you can consider hiring a maid.

Family Function

If there is a family function in your home and you will be too busy welcoming guests and it is not possible to manage all household chores.

Physically Unfit

Life is a journey, many times you get caught in a condition where you will become weak or unfit physically and you have to take rest and care about your health.

Then it is completely worthwhile if you hire a maid to do such household work which is hard to do for a physically unfit person.

There are several conditions for being physically unfit. Those are

1. Caught in an accident and unfortunately bone got fractured and you need some time to recover.
2. If you are a pregnant woman also other people can not handle the household chores.
3. You are a Senior Citizen and by age, you have very little energy and speed and none in your family is available nearby due to their busy schedule.

High Work Load

Recently you have been appointed for a project where you have to work about 15 to 18 hours each day to accomplish that project successfully.

Of course, you need to be more focused and require no distractions from doing household chores.

Then it is good to stay focused by minimizing home stress.

How much to Outsource?

All the above reasons we have discussed are totally valid and worthwhile for hiring a maid.

But do you seriously think that all the household chores can be outsourced to them?

One question arises against this while hiring a maid. That is,

How much to outsource? Or how much work to do on our own and how much work is accomplished by housemaids?

Miscellaneous tasks such as,

• Cleaning up utensils
• Washing laundry
• Cooking meals
• Sweeping floor
• Filling pantry, Etc.

But handing over all works including money and transactions is not good.

Whenever there is the need to do any money transaction such as bill payments, purchasing any products and/or household regular fruits and vegetables, you should take responsibility to do such.

If it is not possible to do it on your own then hand it over to your family member or any other trustworthy people but try avoiding house-maid workers.

It carries a high risk of theft or otherwise, you will be deceived by them without knowing you.

How to do them efficiently?

We have to become more proactive in completing all household chores quickly.

Here are some tips which really help you to complete all chores quickly.

1. Always use a calendar reminder for payments and bills.
2. Use automated payment systems if possible but always check billings and their recent changes
3. Have a periodic checkup of Pantry and fill it in time.
4. Protect all assets with responsibility
5. Balance your professional and personal life by not integrating into one another.
6. Set higher priority to a healthy lifestyle
7. Borrow and Eat regional and seasonal fruits every day
