House cleaning with local small business

Portland OR

Description

Dear seekers, We are the Tidy Gnomes, a POC/Queer/Women owned cleaning/organizing company in Portland. We are a group of gnomes that provide cleaning/household support and a lot of love and we're looking for a new addition to our team. We go around Portland sharing magic and support. We have found that by connecting with people who we are helping, even when we are cleaning or supporting them while they aren't around, we leave behind sweet thoughts and loving feelings. Each of our clients is doing something they believe in and feel strongly about, whether it is parenting or embarking on a new project, the gnomes are there to support them in defending their happiness. We like to provide a safe and encouraging environment for all of us (co-workers and clients). There is no tolerance for hatefulness or oppressive behavior in our community. COVID-19: We have worked with safety professionals to develop systems and protocols to make sure that we are taking all the necessary precautions to stay safe and healthy. It is our priority to be responsible and to make sure that we are doing our part to keep you and everyone involved safe.
