How Can Cleaners Help with Pesach Prep

This year I indulged in cleaning help to help me get through Pesach.

They come during the day while my husband is working at home and I am out of the house at work.
What work can I assign them with limited supervision that would be a help to me and lessen the Pesach burden? I feel like any chore would require me next to them to make sure they are thorough enough. What chores do you give them?
I don't usually have cleaning help so all new to me.

I work from home so can’t supervise the cleaning lady every minute but I do go check on her every hour or so
So far I gave her the fridge to scrub down, the oven, and vacuuming all the rooms very well. I showed her to move the beds and night stands. My husband and I will check over her work closer to Pesach to make sure it’s 100 percent chometz free. Next week I’ll have her wipe out the cabinets and wipe down all the chairs so I can do a quick wipe down on erev but not a scrub.

Definitely have her clean the fridge and freezer. A clean fridge is a chametz free fridge.
She should be able to deep clean your oven and stove.
Empty cabinets and wipe down.
If you're kashering any silver you can have her polish the items.
Move furniture and vacuum.
