Out of all the cleaning agencies in Prague, this one seems reasonably priced and easy to use, starting at 575 CZK for a 3 to 4 hour cleaning session. Following is a more detailed list of what is included. The price for a more thorough full day “spring clean” session is 2800 CZK.

While this agency specialises in cleaning, they do babysit, however there is only one girl that speaks English (her name is Julia), and they have no other options if she is unavailable. The prices for babysitting range from 150 to 180 CZK per hour.

Usually, they receive children bathed, in pajamas and preferably sleeping. When i explained that would not be possible in our family, since the boys won't fall asleep until 9 pm, she said she would compromise. She sounded quite flexible so you might give her a try. The babysitting is available for evenings only.

Unfortunately the cleaners do not speak English but on the first day they are accompanied by a translator that explains everything in detail. However if you later needed to explain something to your cleaner, you will have to call the agency and they will pass in on.
