Key Responsibilities
Your primary duties will revolve around light housekeeping and cleaning to keep the residence in top condition. This includes sweeping, mopping, washing, and polishing floors to maintain their shine and hygiene. You’ll dust furniture regularly to prevent buildup and ensure a fresh appearance. Vacuuming carpeting, area rugs, draperies, and upholstered furniture will be a routine task to remove dirt and allergens, contributing to a healthier living space.
Bed-making and changing sheets are essential for comfort, involving attention to detail to create neatly arranged bedrooms. In the kitchen and bathrooms, you’ll clean, disinfect, and polish fixtures and appliances, using appropriate products to eliminate germs and maintain sanitary standards. Picking up debris and emptying trash containers will help keep the home clutter-free. Additionally, you’ll launder clothing and household linens, ensuring everything is fresh and ready for use. Light duties extend to washing windows, walls, and ceilings to brighten the space and remove any smudges or dust.
These tasks are designed to be manageable, with a combination of sitting, standing, and walking throughout the day. Repetitive actions are involved, but the workload is balanced to avoid excessive strain.

Personal suitability is key: you should be punctual, dependable, flexible, and organized, with strong values, ethics, patience, and honesty. A criminal record check is required for security and safety purposes.
Transportation is convenient, with public transportation available nearby, facilitating easy commutes for those not opting for live-in arrangements. The work conditions are supportive, with a focus on creating an inclusive environment. Physical capabilities include handling repetitive tasks and a mix of postures, ensuring the role is accessible yet engaging.

This position comes with competitive pay at $36 per hour, providing financial stability for full-time work.

Diversity and cross-cultural training ensure a welcoming workplace.
For youths, on-the-job training tailored to young workers is offered, alongside mentorship, coaching, and networking opportunities. Awareness training promotes an inclusive environment. Indigenous candidates benefit from mentorship, relationships with Indigenous communities, cultural competency training for all employees, and access to Elders for guidance. These supports highlight the employer’s commitment to equity and inclusion, making this more than just a job—it’s a stepping stone for personal and professional growth.
