Assuming that you've already decided to hire a house maid, here are some factors that you need to consider as to what type of service or employee you should get. The basic choices are: Hiring directly, hiring in a local maid service and hiring a franchised maid service.
Hiring someone directly might be the least expensive among the three and the most flexible. The problem is you have to know the background of this person in order to know his/ her cleaning abilities. On the other hand, in hiring a franchised maid service, bonds and insurance are given to protect the employer. Background checks, as well as services, are provided consistently. You can also ask for a special schedule for services. In local maid hiring, it is less expensive compared to the franchise. It works without a contract and they also take scheduled services.
These three choices haves different advantages and disadvantages. Now, it's up to you to decide.
