I think we all appreciate having a predictable rhythm in our lives, and when it is disrupted by things like having our housekeeper quit it disturbs that peaceful rhythm.

When that happens, you can be thankful if you have a reputable Cleaning Service handling the transition and making it as seamless as possible. There is a lot that goes into that, but you don't have to read on if you don't want to. I wouldn't want to disrupt the peaceful rhythm of your life unnecessarily! Just in case you are tempted to complain about the fact that the housekeeper you really liked is moving on, however, I thought I'd let you in on some of the behind-the-scenes activities in the company you hired to keep your home sparkling clean.

First an ad must be run, then a single prospective employee must be chosen from a number of applicants by interviewing, checking references, and considering the qualifications and likelihood of sticking power this person possesses. When the applicant is offered the job it is contingent upon a successful background check, negative drug screen, and provision of necessary proof of legality to work in the U.S. If all goes well with all of that, then the training begins. Not everyone is a natural at cleaning. Sometimes it becomes clear that we must accept the difficult task of telling the new hire that she is simply not a good match for the job. Back to "square one," and the process repeats.

Many of HomeLife's clients have had the same housecleaner for several years. Others have had several house cleaners. In either case, however, they can rest assured that quality of worker and service are of the utmost importance to the owners of the company and everything possible is done to lessen the disruption in the lives of our clients.
