I would like to pay a flate rate personally so I am not blindsided by a price change. How often is she coming and doing this? I assumed once a week but then you said you want a deep clean weekly as well?

Yes, but OP hasn't made it clear whether the housekeeper is an employee or a contractor. Cleaning services are rarely structured as employment


What is it that you don't understand about domestic emoyees cannot be contractors? They are hourlyve ployees so cheap people can't cheat them. OP, I pay $25/hr for a maid.


Domestic employees cannot be contractors. But contractors can perform domestic work. Surely you've heard about the large "home cleaning" industry? Don't be daft.


Then the house cleaner is employee of a other company and
d is paid HOURLY. You are obtuse!


Please reference my reply at 14.43 and this link:

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-ss-8

According to the IRS definition, a nanny is an employee. NCS may be a contractor, if they bring their own things and can designate someone else to fill in, especially since it’s short-term. A housekeeper/housecleaner can usually designate someone else, move hours/days, especially if they bring their own equipment.

She tells you her hourly rate!

Housekeepers CAN bring their own supplies, set their own schedules and designate someone else to fill in, if the job parameters allow. If they fulfill all theee of those, IRS will determine that they are contractors.

You can hire a service that charges a flat rate for the house and pays the employees hourly...

IRS defines domestic workers as hourly employees

With the amount of work included, if you want someone doing a great job, it’ll take one person all day. I’d suggest setting up two trials, have them clean at their rate, whoever does a better job gets the position.

$25 is reasonable. You can do a set amount of time and ask for 4 hours so she can do another house same day. $180 sounds high. How many hours is she working?
