Finding a trustworthy housekeeper is a key step toward gaining comfort and peace of mind in your daily life. Whether due to a lack of time, the need to reduce your mental load, or a regular household requirement, it is essential to make a thoughtful choice to benefit from high-quality service with complete peace of mind.

1. Clearly identify your needs

Before contacting an agency, take the time to clearly define your expectations. This will allow you to receive a solution that is truly tailored to your needs.

The frequency of the service (one-time or regular)
The tasks to be performed (routine cleaning, ironing, deep cleaning, etc.)
The number of hours required per visit

A clear analysis of your needs ensures an efficient and personalized service.

2. Prioritize reliability and experience

A housekeeper works directly in your home, so trust is essential. It is important to ensure that the service provider is:

Experienced and properly trained
Punctual and meticulous
Respectful and discreet

Using a specialized agency allows you to benefit from carefully selected, supervised, and evaluated professionals while avoiding the risks associated with direct hiring.

3. Choose an agency rather than an individual

Using a home services agency offers many advantages:

Carefully selected service providers
Service continuity in case of absence
Simplified administrative management
Insurance coverage included for complete peace of mind

You benefit from a secure service without administrative constraints.

A RELIABLE AND PERSONALIZED SERVICE

4. Check the flexibility of the service

A good housekeeper must be able to adapt to your lifestyle. Schedules, frequency, and the scope of services may evolve according to your needs.

Flexibility is an essential criterion to ensure a long-lasting and smooth collaboration.

5. Clarify pricing and benefit from a tax advantage

Pricing transparency is essential. Terms must be clear, with no hidden fees, and simple, easy-to-understand conditions.

Good news: home cleaning services provided by an approved agency such as MAGE are eligible for an immediate 50% tax credit.

This means you only pay half of the actual cost, with the other half covered by the government, without any upfront payment.

This tax benefit makes the service accessible to more households while maintaining a high level of quality.

6. The importance of the human relationship

Beyond technical skills, the human relationship is essential. Respect, discretion, and communication are key elements in building a long-term, trust-based relationship between the client and the service provider.
