Regular household cleaning gigs can pay anywhere from minimum wage to upwards of $30 an hour. These hourly wages won’t make you rich, but it’s regular work and the demand is great. There are dozens of sites that will connect you with cleaning gigs. However, most have significant shortcomings.
The two sites we recommend for finding regular household cleaning gigs — TaskRabbit and Nextdoor — don’t and won’t charge you a dime to market your services.

TaskRabbit
TaskRabbit lets workers determine what services they offer and set their own rates. The site helps by telling you what the average charge is for various services in your area, so you don’t price yourself out of competition. Cleaners listed on the site charge anywhere from $20 to $75 per hour. TaskRabbit is available in major cities nationwide. Learn more here.

Nextdoor
It’s not a housekeeping app. It’s officially a social media forum, where users alert their neighbors about crime, lost dogs and community events. But, it’s become a great referral service for local contractors, ranging from housekeepers and babysitters to cabinet makers and plumbers. Discover more about Nextdoor here.
