LARRY COLLINS AT NBC 2 – CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA CATCHES A CLEANING LADY DIRTY HANDED

A North Charleston family noticed that money and jewelry had been disappearing and they feared their cleaning lady of 10 years was cleaning them out.  Instead of firing the independent cleaner and moving on, these Lowcountry victims called News 2 Problem Solver Larry Collins.  Congratulations to the family and News 2 Problem Solvers for breaking this case…Larry Collins placed hidden cameras in the home and allowed the dirty handed cleaning lady to incriminate herself.  The News 2 video says it all.

According to the New 2 video this cleaning lady had a criminal record for shoplifting.  This woman would not have passed You’ve Got MAIDS criminal background check.   Our professional maids are thoroughly screened, trained at Maid University, insured, bonded, and supervised.

This North Charleston family may have gotten off easy.

What if she had fallen inside the home? Since she is not covered under workers compensation insurance the tables would be turned and she could have sued this family!  Real maid services protect their clients by purchasing workers compensation insurance.

What if the IRS doesn’t view her as an independent contractor? If you pay your cleaning lady more than $1600 a year the IRS views her as your domestic employee.  When you have employees you need to verify if he or she can legally work in the United States.  Then you have to have them complete U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification forms on the first day of work or you might end up in Gitmo.  Next you must withhold Medicare and Social Security taxes from her wages. Since you are an employer now you must match those withholdings and remit them to the IRS.  Don’t forget federal unemployment taxes, as well as any state taxes due.  Real maid services insulate their clients by paying all employment taxes.

Larry Collins recommends:

  1. 1. Use a maid service with insurance rather than someone working on their own.
  2. 2. Keep a written inventory of valuables.
  3. 3. Purchase a safe for your small valuables.

Thank you Larry Collins & News 2 Problem Solvers for educating Charleston areas consumers on the dangers involved with hiring independent, uninsured maids.

You’ve Got MAIDS of Charleston provides maid services and house cleaning to: Ashborough East, Ashborough, Belle Hall, Charleston, Charleston National, Daniel Island, Dunes West, East of Cooper, Folly Beach, Goose Creek, Hamlin, Hannahan, Ion, Isle of Palms, IOP, James Island, Johns Island, Kiawah Island, Kings Grant, Ladson, Long Point, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Park West, Rivertowne, Seabrook Island, Shadowmoss Plantation, Snee Farm, South of Broad, Sullivans Island, Summerville, Wescostt Plantation, West of Ashley, & Wild Dunes.

In our ever changing world many people are taking small steps to save our earth. You’ve Got MAIDS® has taken the initiative; we’re proud to be both environmentally friendly and price competitive with companies that are not bio-friendly. It starts off with the phone estimate. Customers prefer this convenient and straightforward method which also conserves fuel and paper. In fact, most of our correspondences are over the phone or via email. We further lower our fuel consumption and carbon footprint by having our maids carpool to your house. Green cleaning your home with microfiber cleaning cloths, HEPA filtered vacuums and non-toxic cleaning products is a step in the green direction.  After all, it is the sum of the smaller acts that gives way to the greatest results. On behalf of the staff of You’ve Got MAIDS® thank you for partnering with us in our vision to protect our planet.

RESIDENTIAL MAID SERVICE

A professional residential cleaning service, like You’ve Got MAIDS®, may be a few more dollars than a part-time independent under the table maid(normally between $0.71 & $1.42 a day), but it offers numerous advantages. We provide screened, trained, bonded and insured maids that bring all of the necessary cleaning supplies. In fact, when you hire us, you can delete cleaning products from your shopping list. Also, as a bona fide employer, You’ve Got MAIDS® is responsible for withholding Social Security income taxes, Medicare Tax, FUTA & SUTA. Most importantly You’ve Got MAIDS® worker compensation insurance insulates you & your family from personal injury attorneys.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING

You’ve Got MAIDS® strives to deliver more than expected each time. We get it.  A lot of residential home cleaning service providers over promise and under deliver. At You’ve Got MAIDS® we want long term relationships with our customers, and our goal is to under promise and over deliver.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING SERVICE

Better yet let us know by clicking our feedback button.  We care.  Your compliments are words of encouragement… like sunshine to your maids…they will not grow without it! Our CEO reads each and every piece of feedback before forwarding it to the local franchise office.

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we understand that communication is key, and we welcome all feedback…not just the good stuff! We carefully review and share everything with the maids in a construction manner. The good to great feedback gets shared at the morning meeting in front of everyone, and might go on our Wall of Fame! The not so great feedback is reviewed in private, and goes into the employees file.  As a company, we consume feedback for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
