You gotta ask around. If you know anyone who uses one, ask them for their cleaners info. Or just keep an eye out for any neighbors that are having a cleaner come. You can go introduce yourself and ask for their contact info. That’s how I found mine.

I pay $100 for three hours (cash in hand) and this is Australia which is stupidly expensive. The cleaner does my 4 bed, 2 bath house in that time and helps us stay on top of things. There must be somewhere? I checked the classifieds to find mine. Gumtree online. Your equivalent would be Facebook marketplace (if they have a cleaning category) or Craigslist. I found that actual companies also advertise using these because it's free. Obviously with Craigslist use caution and ask to see evidence of police checks and bonded and insured that type of thing. For me, my insurance covers the cleaner and I just made sure she had a police check done. She's a lovely lady and has been very reliable.
