I have never wanted, needed, or had the funds to afford to hire some help with the weekly/bi-weekly chores such as dusting, sweeping, scrubbing etc. Now I face the need so I am wondering what to look for in a person who will be asked to take care of the things I can't. Should I go with a cleaning service with a nationally known brand name or look for someone locally who is an independent contractor?

Has anyone had any experience hiring someone or having had someone do this sort of service in your home? Is anyone here a house keeper/ janitor/ cleaner and can give me insight on what to look for, or expect?
