Independent Maids | You've Got Maids

Independent Maids are a lot like a box of chocolates, with the emphasis on you never know what you’re going to get. At least that’s what Forrest Gump’s Momma always said.

My old neighbor, I’ll call her Jenny, hired an independent maid. This particular illegal, independent maid charged $10 a room. My neighbor counted 12 rooms, but her calculating, illegal, independent maid counted 14 (laundry room & foyer). This unlicensed, illegal, calculating, independent maid came once a week and stays roughly 5 to 6 hours. That’s 5 to 6 hours her rust bucket was parked on our street, dripping oil. No one cleans 6 hours straight so our neighbor felt obliged to prepare lunch for her employee. That’s right, this unlicensed, illegal, calculating, bring your appetite, independent maid eats a free lunch that her boss prepares for her. Our neighbor provides all the cleaning equipment, the vacuum, chemicals, cleaning cloths and mops. Moreover, she was unwittingly bearing all the risk…what if this uninsured, unlicensed, illegal, calculating, bring your appetite, independent maid got hurt…she could sue our neighbor. Imagine that.

David Bernstein, assistant professor at the George Mason University School of Law feels the “American tort system is a disaster. It resembles a wealth-redistribution lottery more than an efficient system designed to compensate those injured…” To read the rest of Bernsteins Civil Justice Memo click here.

The best scene in my old neighbors drama took months to play out. One day the tax evading, illegal, uninsured, unlicensed, illegal, calculating, bring your appetite, independent maid showed up with her child. Something went wrong with her babysitter, so this little girl got to go to work and it wasn’t even Bring your Daughter to Work Day. No problem, one more plate for lunch. I suppose $10 a room just gets you the body. If you would rather entrust your homes maintenance to professionals call a company like You’ve Got MAIDS . We pull up in our well maintained company vehicles, trained, licensed, bonded and insured. We will never report to work with our children. We will not expect lunch. We’ll even bring our own equipment. Why settle for less?

Victoria Principal has finally received an apology from her independent maid,

Maribel Banegas

, who

originally claimed Ms. Principal flew into a rage

at her Malibu home, fired her and then pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her. Click here for the

TMZ report

If we may be so bold, this could have been avoided. If Victoria Principal had entrusted her house cleaning to a professional house cleaning franchise, like You’ve Got MAIDS, she would have insulated herself from managing her maid. Victoria would not have to fire her maid…we would. If it was just a clash of personalities (it happens) we would have reassigned the maid to another client, given Ms. Principal another maid, and avoided this Jerry Springer moment. It amazes me how smart people complicate their lives by hiring independent maids…when one hires a independent maid you become an employer, responsible for paying payroll taxes & insurance, doing background checks, and the thankless job of managing the maid.

Here are tips for hiring a safe, dependable cleaning service.

GREEN CLEAN

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 CLEANING 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 SERVICE

If you notice the maids do something that makes you happy, let them know. 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.
