Career Snapshot

ABOUT MAID OR HOUSEKEEPING CLEANER CAREERS

Housekeepers and their helpers play a vital role in the hospitality business. They work in hotels and motels, ensuring that each guest checks into a clean, tidy room with clean sheets on the bed and clean towels in the bathroom. It is critical to pay close attention to detail. Because guests' schedules vary, not every room can be set up in the same way. 

Housekeepers may have to skip around their allotted floors in order to complete every room on their list by the end of the day. The best housekeepers are as proud of arranging a hotel room as they are of preparing their own houses for visiting friends. 

Housekeepers, like all other customer care employees in the hospitality sector, play an important part in ensuring that a client has a place to stay and leaves with a strong desire to return to the same hotel the following time.
