Meet Hannah Braun, who joined Well-Paid Maids as a cleaner in December 2022. We caught up with Hannah to learn more about her experience at the living-wage cleaning company based here in the D.C. area.
Why Well-Paid Maids?
I am a part-time college student but still need full-time work. Well-Paid Maids offers super flexible hours, but I also still get the weekends off! They pay enough that I don’t have to work as many hours as I previously did, which gives me more time and less stress.
How is Well-Paid Maids different from your previous work experience?
Well-Paid Maids stands out because they put their employees first. The biggest difference from my last job is the managers — they’re great! They always make it work when I need to go in late or leave early for doctor appointments or even to take care of my kitten!
What benefit has helped you the most?
The benefit that has helped me the most is honestly the dental and vision insurance. I was dropped from my parents insurance when I turned 21 and… well… my genetics didn’t do me any favors in the dental and vision departments!
How have you used some of your 24 paid days off this year?
I took an 11-day trip to the Smoky Mountains with my boyfriend and a long weekend beach trip with a group of friends right after!
I was very excited that I had saved up enough time for the whole trip even after already using a sick day and only working at Well-Paid Maids for about eight months. When I asked my manager about it, she immediately insisted that I take the time off!
How would you describe Well-Paid Maids in 3 words?
Supportive, efficient and reliable.
Anything else you’d like to add?
Something I don’t think should be overlooked is how Well-Paid Maids cares for the health of their employees, clients and the planet. They use all eco-friendly products, which I love because I don’t want to be breathing in all the chemicals of other cleaning products, and it’s especially great for clients with young kids!
Thank you, Hannah! It was wonderful getting to know you!

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
