What's it like to be a Housekeeper?
A Housekeeper spends their day keeping their delegated work area clean. Housekeepers can be employed in offices, private homes, or commercial establishments. Some private employers prefer stay-in employees while most businesses that require Housekeepers ask them to work on-site.
Tasks and duties
- Performing cleaning tasks such as washing, dusting, vacuuming, and taking our trash.
- Maintaining an orderly living or office space by organizing items, changing bed linens, dusting equipment, and washing dishes, depending on the employer's needs.
- Reporting on the current inventory of household items such as cleaning materials, food items, office supplies and other basic items that must be available in the work area.
Depending on the industry and the employer, Housekeepers may have multiple tasks delegated to them besides cleaning. Some are tasked to deliver internal memos within the office, take messages, pickup deliveries, and other routine tasks.
