Job Description

Description:

C2 Safety is assisting a client in their search for an experienced and reliable Residential Housekeeper & Property Caretaker .

About the role
I am looking for a reliable, detail-oriented housekeeper and property caretaker to help care for three homes and several small offices. This is a hands-on cleaning role with added responsibility for basic property care and light coordination with vendors. I’m looking for one person I can trust long-term, not a rotating crew.

Core responsibilities

• Housekeeping and cleaning
  • Thorough cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and offices (dusting, vacuuming, mopping, trash removal).
  • Routine deep-clean tasks on a rotating basis (baseboards, interior windows, inside appliances, ceiling fans, etc.).
  • Keeping spaces tidy and organized, including straightening common areas and storage where appropriate.
• Laundry and linens
  • Washing, drying, folding, and putting away clothes, towels, and linens.
  • Changing bed linens and towels; light ironing or steaming as needed.
• Property care & “eyes-on” oversight
  • Walking the property to notice and report issues (leaks, unusual odors, damage, pests, burned-out bulbs, etc.).
  • Light exterior tidying such as sweeping entryways, porches, and picking up debris.
  • Keeping track of cleaning supplies and household consumables; notifying owner when items need restocking.
• Coordination / assistant-type tasks (optional but preferred)
  • Meeting repair or service vendors at properties (plumbers, HVAC, pest control, etc.) when needed.
  • Letting the owner know about needed repairs and helping schedule them.
  • Occasional simple errands related to the properties (picking up supplies, dropping things off, etc.), as agreed.
• Driving
  • Regular travel between properties (about 100 miles apart) on a schedule agreed in advance.
  • Managing your day efficiently so each property is cleaned and checked on a predictable rotation.

What this job is NOT

• No heavy handyman work or specialized trades.
• No childcare or elder care.
• No managing other staff; this is a one-person role.

Contractor requirements

• Comfortable with physical work (standing, bending, lifting up to 25–30 lbs, moving small furniture to clean behind/under).
• Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle.
• Willing and able to drive between properties regularly.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in cleanliness and organization.
• Comfortable working independently in private homes and offices.
• Dependable, punctual, and responsive by phone/text.
• Able to pass a background check and provide at least two recent work references.

Compensation

• 1099 independent contractor role
• Hourly pay based on experience and responsibility (please include your expected hourly rate in your response).
• Drive time between properties is paid.
