hi everyone! i’ve been doing housekeeping for about 2 months now and have quickly grown a client base because of my attention to detail through word of mouth referrals. it was completely unexpected and now i’m trying to figure out how to raise my prices? i currently make $22/h CAD and live in a decently sized city (approx 500k population). i feel as though i’m not making enough money, especially because multiple clients have fired their cleaners to hire me instead, and they express that not many housekeepers show the attention to detail that i show. how do i go about raising my prices and how much do you think i should raise them by? the houses i clean are 2-3 million dollar homes and have 3-5 bedrooms and usually take 5-6 hours for a full clean. thank you in advance for any advice

hi everyone. i’m 27 years old and my 68 year old mom was diagnosed with alzheimer’s a few months ago. the doctor said it’s mild but i believe it’s leaning more towards the middle stage. she still performs ADLs herself and has a license. i moved back in with her a year ago because i knew something was off and wanted to try and get a diagnosis for her/care for her. we’ve never had a close relationship and she’s always been verbally and emotionally abusive towards me. the alzheimer’s is making her way worse. she says nothing but hateful things to me, everything’s my fault, she’s combative towards me to the point of doctors calling her out on it, i can’t have any boundaries or say no to anything or she’ll say horrible things about me.. the list goes on. i’m an only child with no support in this. she’s nice to everyone else except me. my boyfriend could say the same thing as me and when he says it it’s fine but when i say it it’s a problem. i’m becoming very fatigued already and we’re only at the beginning of this. she has her next cognitive assessment soon and i’m almost 100% sure she’ll have her license taken away after that one. i don’t want to be her caregiver. someone please give me advice.
