No professional cleaning experience is required. We care more about reliability, attention to detail, coachability, and taking pride in doing excellent work.
- Pay & Advancement Our pay levels are based on skill, quality, efficiency, reliability, and independence — not simply how long you've worked here.

You consistently produce quality work, complete your responsibilities within expected timeframes, follow our systems without frequent reminders, and can be trusted to handle your normal responsibilities independently. Home Care Specialist 3 — $24/hour You've moved beyond simply being competent at the job. You're highly reliable, consistently meet our standards for both quality and efficiency, demonstrate strong judgment, communicate well, and proactively notice and handle what needs to be done.

At this level, we trust you to represent Oakland County Home Cleaning at the same standard we expect from our most experienced team members. Team Lead — up to $30/hour Team Lead is a separate leadership position and is not an automatic step after Level 4.
