New moms and college students live shockingly similar lives. Zero free time, no sense of privacy, familiar with the midnight hour, and impossible roommates. The difference is that sometimes the impossible roommate is Kerry, the art history major who doesn't ever clean the drain, and sometimes it's the little light of your life who's up, screaming and colicky at 2 AM.
At two completely different points in your life, you could be living the same lifestyle. If you are stressed AF, it's OK to ask for help. When you're feeling overwhelmed, you could use a little help from Handy. It's a website that connects you to professional cleaning pros who can come to your home (or dorm) as early as tomorrow to clean your floors, the microwave, or do whatever needs to be done so you can get a little bit more time for you. Cleaning pros booked through Handy can be scheduled to come back on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, so you have one less thing to worry about.
Now it's time to play everyone's favorite game: new mom or college student?
There are mystery stains on all your clothes.
You've gotten used to "the stain you hope is nacho cheese and not pee." If you throw a party every other weekend or have a baby that throws up more than you did in your first trimester, you're going to regret going with the soft, cream carpet. Next time, go with dark and patterned.
Ramen's a staple in your diet.
You know exactly how long to microwave your ramen to steaming, but not boiling hot, for immediate slurping. Maybe it's ten times better than your university's cafeteria food, or it tastes pretty phenomenal when the closest you last had to a meal was some Cheerios you found under the kitchen table. One thing's for sure: there's only two times in your life instant ramen can taste this delicious.
The pile of dishes in your sink is defying gravity.
Wow, your dish pile might reach the moon before the astronauts do. How has that not toppled yet? Once you put away the dishes in the dishwasher, then you can start on the sink dishes. Eventually. Maybe once you hand in this thesis paper. Or after you listen to Baby Einstein for the seventeenth time until he finally falls asleep. Eventually!
You wore yoga pants every day this week.
They're not just for yoga. Maybe you've got nothing clean, maybe they're the only thing in arm's reach for running to 7 am lectures or PTA meetings, but you probably have nothing clean. There are no binkies or wifi in the laundry room! You shouldn't have to spend so much time in there. Yoga pants, it is.
If playing new mom or college student is hitting a little too close to home, Handy's here to save you. With top-of-the-line pros and booking available as early as next-day, you can find a pro you love to come every week, month, whatever fits your needs. If you have to focus on other things, like your 3.5 GPA or 3.5 kids, use Handy to get some help with the rest.
