Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google āMotherās Day gifts,ā and youāll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes itās fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Hereās one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. Itās the perfect āthank you,ā āI love youā or āyouāve got thisā for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, youāre supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
