Our team members visit homes every day to create clean, fresh, and bright environments for our clients. During International Housekeepers Week, we put those hardworking team members front and center to show our appreciation.

How our local offices celebrate

Across the country, local Merry Maids offices go above and beyond to make the week feel extra special. The goal is to make team members feel valued – pampering the very people who spend their days taking care of others.

Here are a few ways our local offices roll out the red carpet:

  • Team breakfasts: Morning gets an upgrade with hot breakfasts, coffee, pastries, and breakfast tacos to fuel the team before they head out.
  • Daily treats and snack stations: Grab-and-go snack bars, ice cream socials, and sweet treats are ready for team members!
  • Raffles and giveaways: Prize drawings feature gift cards to local spots, self-care packages, and small gifts to keep the energy high all week long.
  • Personalized thank you notes: Managers and franchise owners take the time to write heartfelt cards expressing gratitude for specific contributions.
  • Walls of appreciation: Local office bulletin boards display client reviews, high-fives, and peer-to-peer shout-outs.

Why we celebrate

Housekeeping work demands physical endurance, technical skill, discipline, and an eye for detail. Celebrating International Housekeepers Week gives us a moment to spotlight why this work matters so much to our company and the families we serve.

  • Recognizing work: Cleaning professionals work to relieve stress and make daily life easier for busy families.
  • Honoring professional expertise: Professional home cleaning requires real knowledge, training, time management, and pride in your work.
  • Creating team connection: Gathering for treats and celebrations creates an opportunity for team members to relax, share laughs, and bond outside of their daily cleaning work.
  • Reflecting our values: Our team members give free time back to homeowners. Celebrating them is our way of giving that same care and respect right back to our staff.

Thank you to our incredible teams

To every Merry Maids team member: thank you. We’re proud to celebrate you during International Housekeepers Week and remain grateful for the care you bring to homes every single day of the year.
