Non-shady maid service in LA?

Can anyone recommend non-profit or even just non-shady house cleaning in Los Angeles?
When I lived in San Francisco, I used the wonderful Self Help For the Elderly for house cleaning services. They're a non-profit who pay a very high proportion of fees to their workers, while retaining the benefits of an agency (the folks are vetted, can call in sick, etc). I'd like to find a similar organization in LA to clean my home bi-weekly in Silver Lake. Can anyone recommend anyone? I'd even take a recommendation for a solo contractor, I really just don't want to pay some maid agency $25 an hour when they're paying the person doing the work $7.

Bummer not more answers....I don't live in LA, but I've heard that Yelp is a good place to find local housecleaners, you can at least read reviews first, find out about rates, etc. If I ever get it together myself, I think it's what I'm going to use in Seattle to find someone (I can't bring myself to pay for Angie's List).
