Mine does everything, except taking care of the baby and cooking.
She does laundry, takes out the trash, irons and folds the laundry, does the dishes, cleans the windows, the tiles, etc etc..
Oh she doesn't clean the outside of the house cause we have another guy who also comes twice a week to do that and to take care of the dogs

Lauren-

I was having them do what they call basic cleaning. Wiping down counter tops/dusting, scrubbing bathroom, and floors. There is usually (at least in rip-off NYC) an extra fee for any other stuff like washing windows, cleaning ceiling fans, laundry etc..

 

..oh and breaking all my stuff was included in that fee as well.
