Previously posted by me in a group I belong to, but I hope helpful to anyone with chronic illness who reads this blog. 

I have a homemaker also.  I made a list of everything I want her to
do.  In order.  I get the laundry into the basket, get the coins, pour
the soap into the jar (I measure out the soap cause they’re
front-loaders and we don’t want suds all over the first floor, now do
we?  ).  I
empty the wastebaskets into the trash bag in the kitchen.  I pick up
the cat toys from the floor.  The rest is up to her.  Here’s my list:

Start laundry.
Vacuum kitchen and bathroom with small vac.  Empty vac into trash. 
Clean bathroom.
Mop bathroom and kitchen.
Vacuum rugs with big vac.  Empty vac into trash.
Do any small miscellaneous jobs I need done.
Deal with laundry–into
dryer or bring up if I’m hanging it to dry.
Grocery shopping and pick up meds if necessary.
Go to post office if necessary.
Get laundry from dryer and fold it.
Trash out.  Goodbye. 

I don’t put the ‘goodbye’ on the list.   

Your
needs may be very different, but I’ve found having a list really
helps.  I prefer she doesn’t have to ask me what to do next, because if
I’m really tired I tend to say, “Nothing.  Just go home now.”  If I’m
having brain-fog, I can’t think what needs to be done so I tend to say
“Nothing.  Just go home now.” 
Having a list takes the pressure off.  Another thing is that since
homemakers change so often, having a list means they can start off
right from the get-go.  Every time I get one I really like AND who does
a good job, she leaves for a better job or to stay home with her kids
or……….  I am not really that comfortable with having new people
come in, so that’s another way the list helps.  I don’t have to
interact that much until I get used to them.
