Feeling burnt out from work and family obligations, many are turning to the idea of hiring of a housekeeper to alleviate their stress and spend more quality time with their children.
Housekeepers can be extremely convenient and helpful for families because they can keep a house afloat by taking care of tasks that often find themselves on the back burner like vacuuming, dusting and cleaning bathroom floors.
But finding the right housekeeper for you can be challenging. There are so many factors to consider – on what days will my housekeeper work? Do I want a live-in cleaner? Do I want them to look after my kids from time to time? House cleaning seekers often have particular requirements that make it difficult to find the right housekeeper just through word-of-mouth from their neighbours or referrals alone. Sometimes the search will leave you thinking that you will never find the right person.
