Jolene Smith, a native Washingtonian, joined Well-Paid Maids as a cleaner in January.
When asked how it’s going so far, she rattled off reasons it’s better than her previous jobs:
- Her hours are consistently 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. She’s never worked past 6 p.m. or weekends.
- The pay is good — it starts at $20 an hour.
- The benefits are solid. There’s health, vision, dental and life insurance. But Jolene especially appreciates the 100% employer-paid commuting costs. That includes mileage and gas as well as a company credit card for parking garages.
- She also gets 22 paid days off per year. She went to California for her birthday this year and is headed to the Dominican Republic for her destination wedding in June!
- Her managers are supportive, communicative and don’t micromanage — a huge perk!
Plus, Jolene says all her clients have been great, showering her with compliments. She even has a few regulars she cleans for once a month.
While Jolene’s experience as a cleaner is unusual — domestic workers are infamously underpaid and treated poorly — her experience at Well-Paid Maids isn’t. That’s because Well-Paid Maids is committed to treating its employees (not contractors) fairly all while leaving you with a clean home.
“Everyone needs to get their homes cleaned professionally once in their life,” Jolene says. “It’s a treat to come home to a sparkling clean house without the work.”
