Graduation is an accomplishment. It is exciting and often marks the next important phase in someone’s life. Sometimes mixed in with those feelings of excitement are feelings of sadness. This bittersweet time can be because the people we love were not able to celebrate with us. We may also be saying goodbye to a place that was special and safe upon graduation.

These feelings can impact the graduate and their loved ones. Though proud and happy for their children, parents may struggle with their child leaving the nest and what this means for their parent identity. Parents and families may also struggle with missing people they believed and hoped would be alive to witness this achievement. The absence of a loved one is one of many secondary losses grievers experience around moments that are typically joyful.

June 16 is International Domestic Workers Day, and Well-Paid Maids is celebrating!

International Domestic Workers Day honors house cleaners, nannies and care workers. It marks the anniversary of the 2011 passage of the International Labour Organization Convention that established international labor laws for domestic workers.

Aaron Seyedian launched the home cleaning company Well-Paid Maids in June 2017 and, that August, began offering cleaning services around the D.C. area with his staff of three — including himself.

At the time, he paid cleaners a living wage of $16 an hour, plus benefits.

Karen joined the Well-Paid Maids team as a cleaner in January 2021, and she was recently promoted to an operations manager! This well-deserved promotion is part of Well-Paid Maids’ effort to deliver better customer service with responses to phone calls and emails seven days a week.

To celebrate Karen’s promotion, we caught up with her to learn more about her time at Well-Paid Maids, the area’s only certified living-wage cleaning company.

It can be a little daunting having a young family in the DMV. Here’s a list of where our clients have found community, picked up parenting ideas, snuck in some exercise and generally had a decent reason to get out of the house. Which is so great for our wellbeing.

For clients who experience loss around this time, we’ve included local support groups. From postpartum to grief, including miscarriage and infant loss, these organizations focus on compassion and understanding. If they charge anything, it’s likely only a nominal fee.

Washington City Paper is hosting its annual Best of D.C. contest — and Well-Paid Maids is eyeing the Best Maid Service category.

If you missed it: Well-Paid Maids has secured first place for the past three years. Can you help us snag gold again?

In May 2024, the Episcopal Church awarded 40 Becoming Beloved Community grants to support racial justice, healing, reconciliation, and creation care efforts throughout the world. St. Timothy’s Church in Herndon was the recipient of a $9,350 Impact Grant for its ongoing work in Latino Ministry.

St. Timothy’s is an Episcopal Church that worships God in English and Spanish, striving to be ‘One St. Timothy’s’.’ We aim to grow as one congregation of two cultures by deepening our existing relationships, equipping Latino congregants to share in leadership, and creating opportunities for cross-cultural fellowship and mutual understanding.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
