• Sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, and disinfect surfaces
• Refill cleaning supplies and report low inventory to your supervisor
• Report damages, hazards, or maintenance issues promptly
• Follow all safety, hygiene, and infection-control standards (including proper use of PPE and cleaning chemicals)
• Provide courteous, respectful service and respond appropriately to client requests
• Maintain client privacy and confidentiality at all times

What we're looking for
Required:
• Previous experience in housekeeping, cleaning, or hospitality (home care, long-term care, hotel, or facility cleaning experience preferred)
• Ability to work independently and manage your time across multiple tasks
• Strong attention to detail and pride in a job well done
• Professional, respectful, and discreet manner — comfortable working in private homes
• Physical ability to perform cleaning duties, including lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods
• Reliable transportation between client locations within Edmonton and surrounding area
• Legal eligibility to work in Canada
• Fluent English communication

Assets (nice to have):
