“I Wish More Companies Cared for Their Employees Like Well-Paid Maids Does”

Eddie Helm is a college student studying psychology. They joined the Well-Paid Maids team last September.

“I was over the moon to find out I got the job,” they said. After working in retail, the change was welcomed.

We recently caught up with Eddie to find out how they like working at Well-Paid Maids.

Q: Why Well-Paid Maids?

A: I wanted a change of pace from years of working in retail. I used to joke with my friends all the time that I would make a great maid since I was already a stress cleaner (and still am). Cleaning for me is very relaxing and satisfying and has always been my way of “organizing the disorganization” happening in my life.

Q: How does Well-Paid Maids stand out from your previous work experiences?

A: It was such a 180 from what I had come from, where the business I worked for wanted their employees to work more for less and give everything to their company when they weren’t giving anything back.

At Well-Paid Maids, my managers are always checking in and seeing if I need a break or asking if I can work certain days. It’s incredibly heartwarming, and I wish more companies cared for their employees like Well-Paid Maids does.

Q: How has working at Well-Paid Maids benefitted you?

A: The biggest benefit I’ve had working for Well-Paid Maids has been the ability to work less and take care of my personal needs more. I’ve always worked in positions or workplaces where I’ve had to essentially work myself to my limit to just get by. It left me feeling very overwhelmed and stressed. I wasn’t able to explore and balance other parts of my life, and I was struggling the most trying to find the energy to put into my schooling, which was, in my eyes, the future for me.

Working for Well-Paid Maids, I’ve been able to actually have a work-life balance with not just school but also with my hobbies and personal relationships outside of work. That has really helped my mental health, and I am very grateful for them taking a chance and hiring me. 

Q: Favorite perk/benefit?

A: My favorite benefit would have to be the paid time off. I have been traveling a lot more recently since my family moved to a new state, and it allows me to actually enjoy my time with them when I go to see them without having to worry about not making enough to cover my bills and other expenses for the month.

Thanks, Eddie, for sharing a slice of your life with us!
