So is the only legal option to use cleaning agencies? They don't seem to be set up to deal with people who just want 2-3 hours a week. Also they don't always send the same maid. This could mean that if you have given specific instructions regarding pets or how to clean certain items, the maid won't know and may damage your property unintentionally, or let your pet outside without realising - especially if you aren't there.
Surely there must be a way to find a legal part time cleaner who speaks some English without having to go via an agency? Or am I wrong, is it a choice of legal via an agency OR getting to pick your own cleaner but acting illegally?
