Hardworking First and foremost, you need a clean house. When you’re evaluating a candidate, make sure you’re comfortable they’ll put in the time and energy necessary for a polished home cleaning.

Trustworthy 
Often, you’ll be leaving you home unprotected when house cleaning comes by. The hallmark of an expert housekeeper is the commitment to professional, trustworthy conduct. If they’re working as a live-in maid or cleaner this is especially important. Similarly, part-time hotel maids and hospital cleaning staff have a key responsibility that requires a deep level of trust.
Attentive
If you provide clear instruction, will your house cleaning staff pay attention? You want to ensure that, if you’re paying a part-time cleaner, they’re committed to reaching every last corner and crevice.
Loyal
There will be times when you need something cleaned last minute. A loyal cleaner won’t think twice about this, so long as they are free. Similarly, your housekeeper is a person themselves – and may have other challenges in their life. A loyal cleaner won’t cancel at the last moment.
Flexible
Life is never as planned. The best housekeeper is one who will make every effort to help you and your family succeed.
Caring
It’s easy for a careless housekeeper to break or lose things that have meaning to you. The best maids care for your home as if it were their own. Hopefully you can find someone who will do the same!
