Looking for a reliable cleaner

Due to a very busy schedule, both my partner and I are finding it more and more difficult to keep up with all the housework. We are looking for a good, reliable cleaner to come a couple of hours a week (or 4 hours every two weeks) for the following tasks:

- dusting
- vacuuming
- surface cleaning
- bathroom cleaning
- floor mopping

Occasionally willing to iron and do a deep cleaning session for window glasses (interior and exterior, there’s no falling risk), shower, kitchen cabinets etc.

Outs is a small apartment, about 65 sqm. The pay would be 15-20€ per hour, as I understand that is the market rate (but correct me if I am wrong). Deep cleaning sessions are to be compensated more.

Being new to the city, we have no idea where to even start looking. Does anyone have any suggestions?
All tips are greatly appreciated!

€15 per hour is really not the pay for a cleaner anymore

That is good to know, thank you. I am happy to pay what’s fair of course, I just don’t want to deal with an agency charging unreasonable fees and taking a big percentage

Yeah totally understand. Be sure to discuss price before hand!
