When I was a housekeeper for a local family (stay at home mom but had 2 boys under 5 and two big dogs [both akitas- one was a wolf mix]) I would do whatever they needed me to do- she would either give me a list or tell me what she would like to be done. Her house was always messy (toys, blankets, clothes everywhere, dirty dishes, etc.) even when I eventually became their babysitter there house wasn't as messy but I still tried to clean up a bit when the kids went to bed like folding laundry, doing dishes, wipping counters -I hate down time and when I am in someone elses house I always feel like I have to help clean {why cant I do that at home? 
}
And at the FCC I used to work at I used to be the one that did most of the cleaning when I worked, usually if the regular assistant that did the end of the day cleaning was out for the day or if I was their at nap time. If I worked during naps I would do what she called "detail work" (what her daughter called 'b!+C# work') so I would clean the toilet and behind it; wipe down all the doors, nobs, walls, counters, tables, picture frames, tvs, mirrors, windows, windowsills, cubbies, shelves, and phones in the daycare rooms; scrub the baseboards, light switches, fire alarm, outlets (with a toothbrush using a paste mix of ajax cleaning powder and 409 - they looked brand new!); sort and organize all the toys, books, and movies in the playroom, closets and shelves; sweep (most of the house was hardwood or tile); and get any cobwebs out of the skylights, corners, and celing fans.
And in the backyard sweep the wood chips and leaves back into the playground area off the concrete; clean the outside of the windows/doors; wipe down the tables, riding toys, and play equipment; and take down any webs in the trees or on the house. LOL sometimes that would get me into a major cleaning mood and I would start cleaning the non daycare specific areas or still help clean after I was off the clock :
:- my OCD kicks in once I start cleaning, I think its all the fumes from the cleaners. Oh, and BTW she also had a lady who would come in on Saturday mornings to clean her house (It was a big house). Infact I was friends with the providers daughter and one time when we first started hanging out I spent the night and the next morning I was trying to clean up my bedding off the floor and her daughter told me "Oh, don't worry the cleaning people will get it" 
boy was she in for a suprize when she became my roommate and she had to clean up after herself ::
I told my fiance after I start making a decent amount and have a good amount of kids (even if I was a small family daycare still) I might hire a part time assistant/sub, or even just a housekeeper to work one or two hours everyday, every other day, or even once a week to do the detailed cleaning that I would have no time to do before or after work. And BTW even if I had a housekeeper I would STILL make my children clean their own rooms- I aint raising no spoiled brats
