Before Jasmine Cooke joined Well-Paid Maids in October 2021, she worked as a cleaner at a hospital for 10 years.
“It was a different experience,” she says, when asked to compare it to Well-Paid Maids.
At the hospital, she worked in a team environment, and she often felt micro-managed. She had little flexibility, and it was also difficult to get the supplies she needed to do her job. And speaking of the cleaning supplies, they were awful.
“You would cough, or you would feel like you were about to pass out,” she explains.
A face mask didn’t help. It got bad enough that she asked if they could change the chemicals, but the hospital didn’t care. They said it was just something she had to get used to.
Her time at Well-Paid Maids has been a different story. To start, she received the proper training she needed to excel at her job and leave customers happy.
She also gets awesome benefits, like health insurance and 22 paid days off per year. And she has no issue getting plant-based, non-toxic cleaning supplies (paid for by the company, of course), and she has a lot more flexibility.
“I’m just more happy,” she says.
The green cleaning supplies and flexibility, in particular, are essential because Jasmine is expecting.
When she started at Well-Paid Maids, she cleaned two homes a day. But since her pregnancy, Well-Paid Maids has offered her flexibility as she needs. Between morning sickness and doctor’s appointments, she’s cut back to cleaning one home a day, but she’s looking forward to getting back up to her usual routine as she feels better.
“I love this job because they’re very helpful and considerate of my personal situation,” she says. “That’s something that I can’t say I had in other jobs.”
Jasmine, a huge fan of road trips, also loves just hopping in her car and driving to homes around the DMV to clean. Even better: Well-Paid Maids pays for her miles.
Overall, Jasmine feels like Well-Paid Maids takes care of her. After all, that’s the core of the company’s mission: to pay its employees a living wage and ensure they’re supported.

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!
