What are maid and housekeeping services?
Maid and housekeeping services refer to employing people to clean homes
for a living. Maid or housekeeping service can be a routine hire or a "when
needed" affair. They are also often referred to as domestic services.
What sorts of responsibilities does a maid or housekeeper have?
A maid or a housekeeper can be responsible for all sorts of domestic
needs. The most common duties housekeeping service companies will perform
include:.
|
- Dusting, Cleaning and Vacuuming: Housekeepers are usually hired to
take care of the interior of the home by dusting shelves, baseboards and
ceilings, cleaning windows and other surfaces and vacuuming carpets.
- Cooking: Many times, housekeepers will live in the home of their
employer. These workers can cook the family meals and even help in
preparing for large events that will take place in the household.
- Laundry: Housekeepers or maids can be responsible for the laundering
of clothes and linens. Housekeepers with an emphasis in childcare may only
be responsible for the washing of the children’s clothing.
- Childcare: Some housekeepers or maids double as nannies and may be
responsible for watching the children until a parent gets home from work,
or assisting in taking the kids to school and extracurricular activities.

What should I look for when hiring a maid or housekeeper?
Hiring a maid is a serious responsibility. Allowing someone into your home
and to come into contact with your belongings should require a substantial
amount of research in finding the right person for the job. The following
are few tips to keep in mind during the hiring process.
- Insurance: Many maids and housekeepers work through a service
company that hires employees to work under the name of that company. Should
you use such a service, make sure the company is insured to cover accidents
in the workplace-your home.
- Ask For References: Before even considering hiring a maid from a
company, seek out those who have worked with them before. Was their
experience a good one? Always ask the housekeeping service company for
references before hiring them.
- Employment Screening: Be sure to find out whether or not each of the
maids or housekeepers are screened before hired to the company. Does the
service company confirm their references and verify they are residents?
These are very important items to take into consideration before hiring a
maid.
- Contract: Who will provide the cleaning supplies, the maid company
or you? What happens if you are not satisfied with the job done in your
home? What happens if items are damaged in your home while the maid is
working? These are questions that need to be answered and answered to the
customer’s satisfaction in a written contract signed by both you and the
housekeeping company.
