@gloaming My elderly father has had a cleaning service for years. We’ve found that age is NOT a factor when choosing a cleaner.
We’ve learnt it’s the ethics (values + work ethic) of the particular person, regardless of age.
The older husband and wife cleaner team my elderly father “liked” the most (they brought him cakes and sucked up big time) cheated him as much as they could. The quality was abysmal. It was revolting behaviour. A young single mother cleaner was the best he ever had. It was such a shame when she moved state.
We learnt to check after each clean and communicate closely with the cleaner of the time. If the cleaner didn’t work with us to address any concerns it was time to replace the cleaner.
