The only ones that are really good are the referrals, but if they are food, they are usually more expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729434 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:57:54 +0000 BananaPancakes 729434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We asked a friend's mother who is a cardiologist. It seems like most established doctors around here have someone who cleans for them. I know that's how a few other friends have found someone to clean; just asked their doctors if they had a recommendation. Maybe that's wierd? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729430 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:54:25 +0000 DillonLion 729430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a service on Google and they are fantastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729425 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:51:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 729425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: to your point DH has recommended our housekeepers to his co workers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729424 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:50:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 729424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found my cleaning service by noticing their van parked in the neighborhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729422 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:50:26 +0000 Mrs.Someone 729422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like you've already tried personal referrals. I've gotten a few that way, but it seems like they're hit and miss. I look on yelp for cleaning people that have lots of great reviews. But overall, I've been unhappy with just about everyone I've hired after a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729417 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:47:45 +0000 MamaMoose 729417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask around at your work. That how I found mine. I'm only comfortable using someone I had a personal recomendation for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729416 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:47:32 +0000 littlek 729416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally like having an individual not a service. I usually ask my neighbors for recommendations. We found our maid through our dog walker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-find-a-housekeeper#post-729406 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:44:44 +0000 Cole 729406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am thinking about hiring someone to come do a deep clean but I have no clue how to find someone. One friend can't stand her cleaning lady, another friend has a great one who is booked solid. The agencies like Merry Maids charge a fortune and don't seem quite worth it. Any suggestions? </p>
