Cleaners...interview questions? Contracts?

[chelseamummy]

We are looking to employ a cleaner who also cooks a couple of dinners for us 1 day per week. We have some girls coming for interview but are stumped as to what to ask them. Also do you bother with contracts for them since they're much less formal than nannies? Thanks!

i think you'd need to put this elsewere i dont think you'l get many replies for cleaners in this topic.

Yes, did realise that when I posted but have no idea where to put it - didnt see another viable place?

I personally don't interview cleaners (don't have one at the moment) In the past I have just got them to come and do a trial clean when I have been home...if they do it well and are personable and friendly they get the job. Check refs before giving keys/leaving them alone.
