Having a live-in domestic helper might come with a host of benefits such as next-level availability and the flexibility of assigning PA-like tasks.

But not every family needs one. For some, a part-time cleaner would suffice. Not only are they heaps more affordable than getting a live-in maid, they require fewer resources and lifestyle adjustments as opposed to live-in helpers that you’ll need to arrange a spare bedroom for. If you’re a worrywart who’s prone to paranoia and values privacy, a cleaning service will also suit your needs more. These folks will get out of your hair once the work is done.
