FAQ

What Is The Difference Between a Housekeeper and a Cleaning Person?

A housekeeper and a “cleaning person” both perform cleaning and sanitation services. But a housekeeper adds special value by also organizing the property and keeping it presentable. In luxury estates, a housekeeper may be full-time or live-in.

What Is a Personal Housekeeper Called?

A personal housekeeper is usually just called a housekeeper or “private housekeeper.” These individuals perform the same types of duties as business housekeepers, though there may be more personalization or demand to assist with meal preparation or errand running.

How Do You Get Into Private Housekeeping as a Career?

To find a job as a private housekeeper, you could start by gaining relevant experience. Joining a talent network with a staffing agency can also help you connect to luxury clients.

What Are Housekeeper Etiquette Tips?

Business owners can ensure a smooth working environment by making expectations clear up front, as well as by being accessible to answer questions that may come up along the way. Cleaning staff should aim to satisfy these expectations while maintaining discretion with a client’s personal information or belongings.
