I don't. But would also be interested in finding a cleaner to clean the house once a week.

Try Maids of Herts, the number is in the phonebook/yell.com. We use them and are very pleased indeed. They've been going for many years, have insurance(s) in place, a team of 8 (i think) staff so your slot is covered when your regular lady is away. Our lady is very consciencious and looks after us wonderfully. Don't know what we'd do without her!

I a Childminder that only chooses to fill two spaces/also due to age of my own children i think i am in the wrong job! £9-£10ph for a cleaner with no in/out of the car 4 x daily(my son goes to school in an outside village), with 4 children aged 4 and under, a double buggy etc etc then the nursery runs in the afternoon. Oh and no food prep and nappy changing......cleaning houses sounds like a breeze! I do love childcare but its all the hard work that comes with. I do find cleaning quite a good release! Also have some family on hand to care for my own children.... The cleaner when i nannied in Harpenden was on £10 an hour and i left that job in 2001! Wonder what she is on now as she is still there!

Anyone got any further recommendations? I'm looking for an independent cleaner rather than a cleaning firm if possible. Many thanks.

I have left 4 messages on the Maids of Herts answerphone in the last 3 weeks with no response at all. I asked them to give me a call even if it was to say that they weren't taking on any new customers but I still didn't hear back.

Maybe if anyone is using Maid of Herts so actually gets to see them they could suggest they ring people back even if it is only to say they are fully booked!

they were unreliable when they cleaned for my mother, also would not move chairs etc, health and safety!

I Have a fantastic cleaner currently and know she is available for further work. She is contracted through Bella Casa in Hertford, try them perhaps?
