About
Let us handle the mess so you can be happy to be home! A House Fairy comes to your house while you're away for the day and uses their magic (it's actually just hard work) to put everything back in order. We’ve all heard of invisible labor - the tasks in every household that need to be done daily and go largely unnoticed by everyone other than the person doing them. Though they are invisible, they are time-consuming and never-ending. These are the tasks of daily living, but they take a lot of time and energy.
Let’s break it down: you work 8 hours a day, ideally sleep 7-8 hours, spend probably 1.5 hours eating meals, and commute an hour or so. That leaves 5.5 hours to shower/get ready for the day, cook, clean, attend kids activities, exercise and relax. Which of these things are the first to go if you run out of time? Probably exercise and relaxation - which are also the 2 things that are most beneficial for your physical and mental health. Next to go? Cooking - which means more money spent on fast food or takeout. Sound familiar? Are you making it work? You probably are. Would you be happier, healthier and more relaxed with help? You definitely would. We aren’t meant to do this all alone. House Fairy bridges the gap between full time housekeeper - AKA The Dream - and going it alone - AKA what most of us are doing.
Visiting multiple times a week allows a House Fairy to get to know your space, your preferences and your family rhythm. That's when the magic happens - not only is someone else completing the tasks for you - you don't even have to *think* about them. Imagine: as you leave your home in the morning, you take one last look inside and it appears that a tornado swept through and left a trail of dirty dishes, toys, clothes and yogurt smears in its wake. You smile and close the door because you know your House Fairy will take care of it. When you get home, veggies are prepped for dinner, dishes are washed, toys are picked up and clothes are clean, folded AND put away. What??
Book a consultation today and let's make a plan to restore peace in your home.

Frequently asked questions
What is a house fairy?
A House Fairy takes care of the day-to-day household tasks - dishes, laundry, meal prep, toy pickup and general tidying - all while you’re away for the day.
What a House Fairy is not:
A House Fairy doesn’t replace a cleaning service, rather supplements it. We don’t mop, dust, clean walls or scrub bathrooms. Many of our clients have monthly or bi-monthly house cleaners in addition to a House Fairy. Other clients find that the deep cleaning tasks are easier to tackle because they’re not having to worry about the seemingly never-ending piles of laundry and dishes.
How often does a house fairy visit?
We recommend a minimum of three visits per week and three hours per visit. This allows your House Fairy time to accomplish most tasks without having to waste time playing catch-up. A more robust, 5 day per week schedule would allow your Fairy ample time for things like meal prep or other auxiliary tasks previously agreed upon.
Does it cost an arm and a leg?
Actually, no. Our goal is to make household help accessible to a wider audience. The cost will vary widely depending on frequency of visits, the size of your home and what you'd like your House Fairy to accomplish. The goal of a consultation is to make a plan that works for your individual home and budget.
does a house fairy only visit houses?
No! Apartment, Condo, Townhome, House - if it has laundry, dishes, toys, books, crumbs and/or unmade beds - we're there.
Do you use real magic?
No, but the effect is the same. You'll never know the difference!
