Start with the role
Before you search, write down what you need from a housekeeper or cleaner. A clear role helps candidates understand the work and gives you a fair way to compare profiles and interviews.
List the practical details
Record the schedule, start date, location, budget, and expected duties. Be specific about routine cleaning, deep cleaning, laundry, dishes, errands, and household organization. Separate essential tasks from preferences so the role stays realistic.
Identify the right experience
Consider experience with homes like yours, preferred products and equipment, and any allergy or pet considerations. Focus on experience and qualities connected to the work instead of personal characteristics that do not affect the role.
Decide what success looks like
Think about communication style, reliability, boundaries, and how you will review the arrangement. Turn your notes into a short job description you can reuse during the search and interview stages.
