It can be done, just depends how much you want to spend. My wife has been a house manager and nanny for a family of 6 for 7 years. 2 dogs, 4 kids. My wife doesn't do any of the house keeping, she only drives/watches the kids and manages projects they need done (gift shopping, contractors, organizing, ect.). A lady comes every weekday for 6 hours/day to keep up basic cleaning, laundry, dishes, picking up toys, etc. And twice a month a team of 6 people come through for the deep clean. I believe it costs around $4-6k/month NOT including what they pay my wife. Also not counting the $3-600 they spend with us every other month cleaning carpets and rugs.
Oh...and the mother doesn't work....
