Having children in E”Y who occassionally take help, yes it is an issue. My daughter in law(s) usually get someone by word of mouth. Yes, one has to be careful as one had towels and even meat disappearing. No, the woman came for not more than 2 hours but i guess was a professional “ganuf”. Surprisingly too, there are many frum girls who go in and help(for pay) with such as ironing, washing the loads of pots and pans one may have from pre Shabbos preparations. No, my kids are not spoiled. In fact,they have so well blended into life in Eretz Yisroel that many don’t believe they are not first timers(not children of people who move to E”Y years ago). Of course ours sons help too!!
To JustMyOpinion, i learned not to judge by the cover. One never knows what is really going on in someone else’s life and it’s not our business. Someone asks a question and you can either help him/her or not! The why is not for us to ask or comment about.
Going away or having cleaning help is sometimes a form of refuah for someone who needs a Refuah Shelaima and wants to keep it quiet.
For the person in E”Y who needs the cleaning help, what neighborhood do you live in? Perhaps i could get you some leads?
