Hi Julia,

We have had our cleaner, Ana, for over a year and she does 2 hours a week for us. We have never had any issues with her work or reliability - she occasionally goes home to Romania for a week or two, but always gives good notice and has a friend who can cover for her if you want her to. She is a vocational cleaner, rather than someone who is doing it just because it's a job (the person who recommended her to us was so messy that she said she wouldn't clean his flat until he tidied it - did the trick!) Her number is 07788633873, and if you tell her you live near me she'll know where it is (she may suggest coming on the same day as she does our place, Tuesday, as it will cut down on her travelling). Her English is pretty good, although she prefers communicating by text message rather than phonecalls if at all possible to make sure she has understood correctly.

Hope this helps!

Bethany

Thanks very much for this Bethany - Tuesday would suit me - how much does she charge?

£9/hr. We pay her the same rate that she was charged at through the agency our friend first hired her through, which means she's really happy because she sees more of it.

If anyone else needs a cleaner I can recommend Olga, from Ukraine. She is lovely and although her English is not so good she makes herself understood. She charges £10 hr, but has a great attention to detail and uses her own initiative. She is also great with pets. She has a free slot on Weds or every other week on Tues. Her number is 07426891140 (just speak slowly and she will understand).

Thanks

Antonella
