A housekeeper in a Miami Beach condo works around building rules, service-lift times and shared laundry, while one in a larger Coral Gables or Fort Lauderdale home may manage several bedrooms, outdoor living spaces and guest preparation. Describe the size and type of home rather than the address.

How to hire directly in Miami

Start with a household brief that names the role, general location, duties, hours and pay. Keep exact addresses, entry codes and children's personal details private; a public listing requires the family's choice to publish.

Review candidate-stated experience, availability and preferences, then request an introduction where the workflow permits it. Interview, discuss references and agree lawful working terms directly; a profile or introduction is not an endorsement.
