A job you'll actually
look forward to
The Modern Maid is built on people who take pride in their work — and we take pride in taking care of them. Flexible hours, real support, and a team that sticks around.
We hire for character.
Not a résumé.
When I started The Modern Maid in 2003, I made a promise to myself: only bring on people I'd trust in my own home. Twenty-three years later, that's still the only standard that matters.
You don't need to have cleaned professionally before. Our team can teach technique. What we can't teach is showing up on time, caring about the details no one checks, and treating someone's home like it's your own. That's what we look for.
These days I'm not the one in the field or across the table at your interview. Our office team is, and they know exactly the character I built this company on. You may not meet me before your first day, and that's by design. The people I trust are the ones who bring you in.
Don't take our word for it.
Take theirs.
I've been here two years and I still look forward to coming in. This team actually listens — if something isn't working, it changes. That's rare.
The schedule flexibility is what got me to apply — they built my route around my life without me even having to fight for it. That's why I stayed.
I didn't have any cleaning experience when I started. The training was real — I trained with my trainer for a full week before I ever went solo. I never felt thrown in the deep end.
More than a cleaning job.
A team worth staying with.

A typical Tuesday
on the Modern Maid team
No surprises. No guessing. Here's what a real day actually looks like — because the unknown is usually what stops people from applying.
Your route is in the app the night before. You drive directly to your first home — start time varies depending on where your first house is and where you live.
Cleaning kit in hand. Every home has notes — pets, preferences, anything you need to know. You're never walking in blind.
Drive, check in with the Help Desk or leadership team if anything needs flagging, then carry on. Your drive time between homes is paid.
Most team members eat on the drive to their next home — you're paid for it, and you finish earlier in the day. Prefer a 30-minute break? That works too.
Usually two homes, sometimes three, occasionally one big job. You're scheduled 8–5; if a home is added or split, you're informed — that's clear from day one.
You're scheduled 8–5; head home when the day's routes are done. Pay deposited Fridays. Need to flag something? The Help Desk handles it, and Hannah's door is always open.
Outstanding benefits.
Actually outstanding.
These aren't perks on paper. They're things Amanda built into the company from the start because she believes the people who take care of your home deserve to be taken care of too.
Paid Vacation & PTO
Real paid time off — not just "use it when you can." You earn it, you use it.
Bonuses & Tips
Performance bonuses and 100% of your tips — kept in full, every time. Your extra effort shows up in your paycheck.
Life Insurance
Protection for you and your family. Because life happens — and we want you covered when it does.
Medical Coverage
Health benefits available to team members after 90 days. Your wellbeing matters beyond the work week.
This isn't just a job.
There's a path if you want it.
We reward people who stay and grow. The longer you're with us, the more your role — and your pay — reflect that.

From application
to your first clean
- 01 Fill out the form
No résumé needed. Just tell us your name, your availability, and what matters to you in a job.
- 02 Hannah sends you a link
A few quick questions online. If you qualify, you'll get an interview invite by text. We look for character, not a spotless track record.
- 03 Training & orientation
Hands-on training before you ever clean solo. You won't be dropped in the deep end.
- 04 Train with your trainer
You train with your trainer — usually about a week — before any solo cleaning. Your trainer checks in with you often as you get going.
Open communication from day one — plus anonymous team surveys and regular check-ins from your trainer and pod leader.
Here's exactly what
to expect from us.
Most places hire you and wish you luck. We have a structure — so you're never left guessing what comes next.
You won't walk in alone.
Your first day, you're with your trainer. No pressure, no solo homes. Just watch, ask questions, get comfortable. We don't throw anyone in the deep end.
Your trainer checks in.
Your first solo clean is a big deal. Your trainer checks in with you often — likely right after — not to grade your performance, but because we genuinely want to know how it felt.
We keep the lines open.
Not a performance review — open communication from day one. Your pod leader checks in often, and anonymous team surveys mean you can always say what's actually on your mind.
We want your honest feedback.
We don't do a formal sit-down at two months, but we genuinely want to hear how it's going — anytime, and through anonymous team surveys. Your feedback shapes how we work.
A note from Hannah.
At 90 days you get a personal message from Hannah — because making it this far matters. We celebrate milestones out loud too, calling you out by name at one year and on your birthday.
