When you decide to hire a house cleaner there are several options open to you. You can hire someone directly and be the employer or you can hire a company that employees the house cleaner and become the client.

If you decide to hire a company it can be a simple matter of opening the yellow pages and letting your fingers do the walking. If on the other hand you want to hire someone directly it can be harder to know where to start.

One tried and proven method is to find a house cleaner from a consumer based web site that will have both the positive and negative reviews posted about a business by other consumers. This is a great way to find someone who has been highly rated and recommended which makes the hiring process faster and easier so all you have to worry about are the technical details.

If you choose to hire someone directly and become the employer there are some factors that you need to be aware of course. First off you are the boss now and as such you need to be responsible for hiring someone legally. It may be tempting to just let them handle their own taxes and not even ask for proof they can legally work in the United States but if you get caught bending the law it won’t be worth the trouble you save now.
