Housekeeping
You will work with my full time housekeeping staff to ensure the houses are kept to the highest standard of cleanliness.
My team is very professional and efficient. Everyone meets daily at 10am at our office for a quick morning meeting, and then travels together in our Hi-Ace van. You only need to get to our office and my year-round staff will do the driving. Anyone joining will go through full training before the busy periods. We will show how we want beds made, kitchen cleaned, bathrooms organized, floors, windows, and other areas maintained. We keep high standards on cleanliness. Our housekeeping team is extremely important to the operations and success of our entire company. Actual housekeeping hours range between 10am (check-out time) to 3pm (check-in time), while the range of work hours might go longer, depending on the day.
