Is a Housekeeper Any Different Than a Cleaning Service?
Yes! Our housekeepers are trusted, experienced professionals who build long-term relationships with their clients. They will learn your family, home, rhythms, product preferences, and exactly how you like your home arranged. When you have a consistent and reliable professional supporting you and your home, you’ll experience the ultimate in customization, specialty services, and accommodation.
Standards set for our housekeepers are typically much higher than those of a cleaning crew. We expect our housekeepers to exercise fine attention to detail and leave homes streakless and spotless.
How Can a MHM Housekeeper Help?
Housekeepers are responsible for the daily upkeep and maintenance of a home. This upkeep includes cleaning, organizing, and managing basic repair jobs and contractors. Housekeepers may provide cooking and light childcare services depending on your family’s and household’s needs.
Our housekeepers are specialists in caring for family and luxury homes. They are accustomed to adapting to a family’s lifestyle, schedule, and preferences to create the best possible at-home experience for our clients.
Larger luxury households and estates may also employ an executive housekeeper who oversees a staff of several housekeepers. Executive housekeepers oversee the efficiency and safety of housekeeping services, manage larger household projects, train and supervise the housekeeping staff, and perform seasonal wardrobe and home interior changeovers.
A housekeeper’s or executive housekeeper’s duties can be unique to each household. That’s why MHM uses a thorough and detailed interviewing process for our household employees and potential employers.
