      t.references :cleaner, index: true, foreign_key: true

      t.timestamps null: false
    end
  end
end

cleaner.rb

class Cleaner <ActiveRecord :: Base 
  has_many: assignments 
  has_many: cities, through :: assignments 
end

city.rb

class City <ActiveRecord :: Base 
  has_many: assignments 
  has_many: cleaners 
,: through =>: assignments end

assignment.rb

class Assignment <ActiveRecord :: Base 
  belongs_to: city 
  belongs_to: cleaner 
end

cleaners_controller.rb

private

def cleaner_params 
  params.require (: cleaner) .permit (city_ids: []) 
end

_form.html.erb Select multiple form

<% = form_for (@cleaner) do | f |%> 
  <p> 
    <% = f.label: cities%> <br /> 
    <% for city in City.all%> 
      <% = check_box_tag "cleaner [city_ids] [city], city.id, @ cleaner.cities.include? (city)%> 
      <% = h city.name%> <br />

  </ p> 
  <div class = "actions"> 
    <% = f.submit%> 
  </ div> 
<% end%>
