Well-Paid Maids, the only living-wage cleaning company in D.C., prides itself on providing employees fair wages and benefits, including:
- $22/hour starting wage
- Health, dental, vision and life insurance
- 24 paid days off per year
- 100% employer-paid commuting costs
- And more
But there’s one under-the-radar perk that employees have raved about time and time again: flexibility.
Last June, we chatted with Jasmine Cooke, who was expecting. During her pregnancy, Well-Paid Maids offered her the flexibility to take care of herself. Between morning sickness and doctor’s appointments, she cut back to cleaning one home a day.
Cleaner Brittany, a DMV native, also said she loves Well-Paid Maids’ flexibility. The mom of two said she sets her own schedule, allowing her to spend more time with her kids.
And Well-Paid Maids understands life happens. Employee Tati said she appreciates that her manager never puts her down when she has to call out for an emergency. For example, during a snowstorm one winter, she had car troubles. Tati’s manager assured her she didn’t have to worry about coming to work since the roads were dangerous anyway.
In fact, Well-Paid Maids takes flexibility so seriously that founder Aaron Seyedian spoke on the matter with the Department of Labor last year.
His reason for providing employees so much flexibility is simple: When you take care of your employees, they take care of your customers.

Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
