Double is fine
If you pay her a nice amount then I think it’s fine.
depends on how much you pay her weekly. housecleaning is not an easy job, very hard work.
I usually give her half. If she charges me $100, I give her a $50 tip. Everyone’s different.
I read an etiquette book for men and one of the topics it covered was how much to tip a housekeeper at Christmas. It recommended $25 or $50 plus a small gift.
That’s probably a good amount. If she’s there on a regular basis I would give a pretty good tip.
