Your local YWCA is your best friend.
Ask a Korean co-worker to phone them up for you to arrange for it. |

I live near Apgujeong. Would she be able to make it to my area?
What does she charge and what does she do? I'm looking for someone who cleans my place but laundry/ironing would be a nice bonus. |

Don't give up. There are maid services everywhere. Ask someone at school. If your students are old enough, ask them if they know how to contact a maid service. |

| We pay the same and ours was through the local YWCA. I had a Korean friend arrange it for us. She is even trained in baby care for infants so she will be helping when baby arrives! Excellent deal and she is the sweetest woman, but doesn't speak a lick of English! Not even "How are you?"! But yes, the YWCA is the best way I think! |

See if you have a "Working Women's Center" or something like that in your area. There's one in my town and they offer cleaning services for 20,000 for 4 hours (it was 15,000 before but they raised the rate -- still quite good tho, eh?!).
I usually have her do all the general cleaning stuff, plus some cooking. I've had 3 different ladies and asking them to cook was fine with all of them.
See my old thread about this...
