Impression Maker Housekeeper

STOP: If you think you are just applying for a housekeeping position you are going to be surprised. Yes, that is the position but it is so much more than housekeeping you are an Impression Maker. What does it mean to make an impression? You make an impression by making an impact in our community with the residents. Your presence when you enter the room is vital. Instead of just announcing you are there to clean their room, you say good morning, ask the resident what their plans are for the day. Look around the room at their pictures, etc. and start a conversation with them. Letting a resident know you care about them makes a huge impression.
