About The Position

You don't just wipe counters. You notice the baseboards nobody asked about. You leave a home feeling different than when you walked in; and that matters to you! We built Home Maid Better for people like you. Since 2016, we've been the top-rated residential cleaning company in OKC nearing 400 reviews on Google alone, a team where more than a quarter of our people have been here four years or more, and a founder (Dan Smith, a working professional and single dad) who started this small business when he couldn't find the right fit in his own home. We're hiring. We're distinctly different. And we're paying what this hard work is actually worth, you deserve it. YOUR COMPENSATION | ALL OF IT, NO SURPRISES HERE Base Pay: $18-$23/hr Training (2 weeks): $18/hr - paid from your first hour, structured and hands-on Cleaning Technician: $18-$19/hr after training, running your own route Cleaning Specialist (6-12+ months, quality metrics met): $20-$21/hr Team Lead: $22-$23/hr - crew management, mentoring, route oversight (all our current leads started as cleaners!) Every raise has written criteria. You'll know exactly what to hit and when. Beyond your hourly rate: ✓ Tips: Our team typically earns $50-$100+/week in customer tips. results vary by route and season. You keep 100%. ✓ Mileage reimbursement: Paid per mile between job sites. Your commute to the first home is on you; everything after that to your last house is on us. ✓ Paid time off: Accruing from day one. ✓ 401k Retirement: Company match included. Your future isn't an afterthought here. ✓ Supplemental insurance: Aflac (accident, disability, critical illness) plus optional dental and vision. We don't currently offer major medical, we're honest about that, but we're actively working toward it as we grow. ✓ Workers' compensation: You're covered from day one. No gray area. Let's do the math: $18/hr × 40 job hrs/wk = $37,440 + ~$4,000 in tips + mileage reimbursement (tax-free) + PTO = $41,000+ total comp potential in your first year. Specialists and Leads can earn $52,000-$55,000+. WHAT YOU WON'T PAY FOR (when joining our team) Some cleaning jobs look good on paper until you realize what comes out of your pocket. Here's what you'll never spend a dime on at Home Maid Better: • Cleaning supplies and equipment: We provide everything; vacuums, cleaners, microfiber, caddies. You show up; and we equip you. • Self-employment tax: As a W-2 employee, you pay 7.65% in payroll taxes. Independent cleaners pay 15.3%. That's an extra $2,400–$3,400/year out of their check that stays in yours! • Your own marketing, scheduling, or customer service: We fill your schedule. You don't chase leads, manage invoices, or handle complaints at 9pm. We have a full office team for that. • Unpaid gaps between jobs: We build your schedule so you're working, not waiting. You don't hustle for your next booking, refresh an app, or wonder if tomorrow has hours. A full day of work is our responsibility, not yours to piece together. • Liability insurance: You're protected and insured under our policies. If something breaks, it's not your bank account on the line. Why this matters: An independent cleaner charging $18/hr on a platform actually nets closer to $13-$14/hr after self-employment tax, supplies, insurance, vehicle wear, and unpaid gaps. Your $18/hr here is a real $18/hr, plus tips, plus mileage, plus benefits. WHY HOME MAID BETTER IS DIFFERENT 1. You're an employee, not a contractor. We pay your payroll taxes, you're covered by workers' comp from day one, and you qualify for benefits. No 1099 surprises at tax time. No being told you're 'your own boss' while someone else sets your rates and takes a cut. 2. We provide the supplies, the training, and the system. You'll never buy your own chemicals, show up with your own vacuum, or front money for anything. Our training is structured: two weeks of paid, hands-on work alongside experienced team members. Not a YouTube video and a 'good luck.' 3. We schedule for quality, not chaos. 3-4 homes per day with realistic time per home. Routes are planned so you're not zigzagging 80 miles across the metro. 4. We put our reputation where our mouth is. Highly rated for a decade and a 200% satisfaction guarantee from the start. A team where more than a quarter of our people have been here four years or more, in an industry where most companies turn over their entire staff annually. We've been a certified partner of Cleaning for a Reason since the start, donating free cleanings to families battling cancer. This is who we are, not a line on a poster.
