Depends a bit where you live. I was of the same mind.
Where we are - we looked long and hard - but found the choice though plentiful - lacking in standard. And if your Spanish is dodgy - you're open to all sorts of "misunderstandings".
We've a friend with an agency and she made us a present of her fee - which was nice though not expected. The lady who comes to us travels a good 40kms each way - she is really excellent at her job. What's more if she cant make it one day - the agency would send us a replacement. Though generally we simply wait - trust is a strong factor afaic.
If you want full time help then I'd deal direct with all the palaver of SS etc - but for a couple of hours a week - it's not worth the hassle imo, Steve.
