Seeking someone to do house cleaning work in Lewes, DE. 2-4 hours every 2-4 weeks. House is located on the beach side of Lewes near the Dairy Queen. What cleaning needs to be done will change some each visit.
Pay is $30/hr to start. After you’ve been with us for 3 months, this goes up to $35/hr. Payment can be in the form of cash, check, or electronic payment via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. We pay same day.
Note that this house is physically and emotionally difficult to clean. There's a reason we're paying above market rate. There are significant allergens (various forms of dust) and most objects are stored in piles that make cleaning difficult. The house is safe to be in and has clear and safe walkways. Any PPE you desire to make your work easier or safer will be provided.
Preference given towards folks who are able to do the first cleaning on Thursday, Friday or Saturday (July 24th, 25th, or 26th).
Key Skills:
• General cleaning skills—washing counters and floors, dusting.
• You have a high tolerance for clutter and are willing to slowly improve things.
• Adept at organizing and tidying spaces, especially from piles.
• Ability to help the homeowner decide what can be thrown away and how to organize the space.
Tasks and Responsibilities:
• Vacuuming and/or sweeping dirt from floors.
• Washing floors with mop and/or sponge.
• Tidying objects in house.
• Dusting.
• Coming up with storage and organization solutions and helping implement them.
• Going through mail and throwing away things that are obviously unimportant.
Historically, this house has a tendency to have pests (pantry moths and mice, in particular). You are not expected to remove these pests yourself, but you will ideally notice if they return so we can remove them. There are still droppings from when we had mice in some areas that need to be cleaned up as you find them.
We have all cleaning supplies and equipment, so you don’t need your own tools. If you have your own supplies and equipment, you can use those.
Both street and off street parking is available for free. During summer especially, visit timing and/or frequency can be arranged to minimize traffic. The house is also on the DART 204 Lewes route (year-round).
Visit timing will need to be coordinated, but is quite flexible and can be outside of 9-5 hours in the evenings or during the day. Visits can be on week days or weekends.
Veteran, LGBTQIA+, polyamory, kink, gender, minority, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or presentation, national origin, disability status, and/or other charismatics will not be considered with regards to employment. Minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
