Finding someone to care for your home is personal. In Medellín, the best match is rarely just the person with the lowest hourly rate—it is the person whose experience, availability, and way of working fit your home and your expectations.
Start with the work, not the profile
Before comparing people, write down what you actually need. A maintenance clean for a two-bedroom apartment is different from a move-in clean, a post-renovation reset, or recurring help for a family with pets. Note the rooms, priorities, approximate size, and anything that needs special care.
- Which rooms should be cleaned on every visit?
- Are windows, balconies, laundry, or inside cupboards included?
- Will you provide products and equipment, or should the cleaner bring them?
- Are there pets, children, allergies, delicate surfaces, or building rules to mention?
Compare like with like
A clear comparison is easier when you ask each person the same short set of questions. Ask about their relevant experience, typical availability, preferred communication, and how they price the work. If an estimate changes after you describe the home in more detail, that is usually a sign that the scope is becoming clearer—not necessarily a red flag.
Use the first visit as a conversation
A first appointment is a chance to align on the details before a routine develops. Walk through the home, point out surfaces that need a particular method, agree on where products live, and decide how you will handle changes. You do not need a complicated contract to communicate clearly, but you do need a shared understanding.
A thoughtful choice feels specific
Look for a profile and conversation that answer your actual questions. Reviews can add context, while a direct exchange helps you understand fit.
