Well-Paid Maids, a living-wage home cleaning company, continues its fight for the region’s workforce by stepping up its advocacy for all workers.
In late October, Operations Manager Dasha Johnson was a featured speaker at a Progressive Maryland town hall with U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), imploring the senator to fight for the jeopardized childcare and paid leave elements in the Build Back Better Bill. You can see Dasha’s testimony at the 1:38:30 mark.
Later in November, Well-Paid Maids owner Aaron Seyedian will testify in Howard County to support a minimum wage increase before the county council.
Seyedian knows a bit about the minimum wage and living-wage. He founded the company in 2017 by offering workers $16 an hour — it’s now $20 — and a full slate of benefits, nearly unheard of in the house cleaning industry where the maids are often contractors. Well-Paid Maids staff are employees and as such receive health, dental and vision care; 22 paid days off each year; and 100 percent reimbursed commuting costs.
The company recently added a new employee benefit to the roster: A free membership to the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), an advocacy organization promoting and protecting the rights of domestic workers in the U.S.
If you’re ready to get your home professionally cleaned by one of Well-Paid Maids’ fully vaccinated employees, you can give Dasha a call at 202-715-1646 or book an appointment quickly and easily online.
If you have any questions, send an email to [email protected] and Dasha will be happy to help out.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
