Community-Minded Cleaning Specialist

Tidy Vibe is hiring for July and August!

We are not your average cleaning company...

...And we suspect you're not the average applicant.

Maybe you've been searching for a job that aligns with your values and convictions or for a community of colleagues who are supportive and collaborative. If you value your community, get satisfaction out of helping others, and enjoy working with a team of awesome folks, then please read on and see what we're all about.

We clean house, but we hate the terms "housekeeping" or "maid service" to describe the kind of work we do. It feels diminutive of the precision and skill it takes to be a great home cleaning specialist. We actually believe that all domestic workers, such as house cleaners, nannies, and home health aides are always essential and valued workers and deserve the care, respect, and compensation that matches the level of energy they are putting into their craft. Cleaning house is hard work and we get it.

Our Vision: We aim to revolutionize the cleaning industry by providing stellar services while also uplifting our cleaners, clients and greater community. Wanna join this cleaning revolution? Then read on and see what we have to offer. Still not really sure if we are legit? Check out our instagram @tidyvibecleaning for a look into our community mindedness in action.

Our number one priority is that our cleaners feel valued and empowered in their role. We hope to encourage this by offering the following:

- livable base pay with regular opportunities for advancement and pay raises (trainees $18/hr and regular cleaners $20/hr - $25/hr)

- sick leave

- paid time off

- referral and performance bonuses

- monthly small business perks and rewards

- Year-end profit bonus (DOE)

- a comfortable, flexible, collaborative, and respectful working environment.

Our next priority is to provide a stellar cleaning service for our clients that we believe can only occur when our cleaners are happy and satisfied in their work. We believe in and honor our team members with the hope that they will pay it forward by doing their best cleaning work each time. Happy cleaners mean happy clients.

We are looking for part-time (20 hrs or more) and full-time (35 hrs) cleaners to take on our quick turnover Airbnb and vacation home cleanings and regular weekly residential cleanings in the Tacoma, University Place, and Lakewood areas.

The Tidy Vibe Philosophy:

We help make work and living spaces more comfortable by providing cleaning services that are both thorough and thoughtful. We believe in a simple concept; to do quality cleaning with care and dedication to the craft, to use the safest products for our earth, our cleaners, and our clients, and to strive to always be helpful, friendly, and communicative with both our clients and cleaners throughout the process.

In addition, we adhere to these 5 Pillars:

Value and empower both our cleaners and clients

Build relationships among our stakeholders

Engage with our community by supporting local businesses and non profits

Promote sustainable and ethical products and practices

Humanize the cleaning industry through advocacy of domestic workers rights

Responsibilities:

VRBO/Airbnb: The cleaning requirements are similar to a hotel turnover; washing/drying and changing out bed linens and towels, wiping down/disinfecting/vacuuming all spaces, and then refilling and restocking supplies, etc. as needed. It is relatively straightforward work, but requires an extremely detailed eye to not miss any spot.

Residential: We also clean for several families and some small businesses who need one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly cleaning. We offer standard and deeper cleanings, both with specific checklists.

Move-outs: We also periodically offer move-out cleaning services for homeowners and apartment complexes. These are similar to deep cleans with extra services added to accommodate new tenants.

Requirements:

We are looking for professional folks who are already comfortable with cleaning and have direct experience in this field. We are offering approximately 20 hrs per week with the opportunity to grow up to 35hrs (full-time) within 8 to 12 weeks. We are a unique company and looking for unique individuals who appreciate the independence and flexibility a cleaning job can allow, and who also take pride in their work and manner with clients.

Right now we are looking for cleaners available Monday to Friday, with availability for very limited weekend work as needed. We post the cleaning schedule on a biweekly basis.

We expect the following in our cleaners:

- Have at least 1 year of experience in the cleaning field or relevant experience

- experience from custodians, janitorial, housekeeping, or maid services is a plus.

- additional experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), home-health aide, or daycare experience may also be considered.

- be detail oriented, independent, and reliable

- must be willing to conduct a background check

- reliable and insured transportation

- valid drivers' license with good driving record

- able and willing to work at least 15 hrs/week from 9am to 5pm

- is familiar and comfortable with cleaning products and supplies (vacuum, etc.)

COVID: We follow state protocols and regulations. We currently still require all employees to wear masks while inside of a client's home until further notice.

We also hope it goes without saying that we are an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status
