Hi,
Private cleaners charge by the hour (references might be little bit more difficult to come by though if you are getting her through advert). Agencies mostly charge by the hour too (will cost you more than a private one would), some agencies might quote you on the full work instead of hourly rate.
Every time I book a cleaner through an agency I ask how much English they speak, etc...its important you are able to tell them exactly what you want and how you want it to be done.
Alternatively advertise here or on gumtree.com stating clearly you need someone with references that you can follow up on by phone. ( Be aware of ones giving only one reference as they can set up a friend to act for them-happened to me!)
Good luck!
