Lots of appreciation
Daenens loves to surprise its employees with little staff gifts, thank-you events and lots of compliments. And let's not forget the sweet clients who will put you on a pedestal soon enough.
Let's get practical

You get to decide on your own schedule and most of our household helps tend to clean part-time or full-time, up to 37 hours per week and usually Monday to Friday. (So if you prefer occasional or flexi-job cleaning, this may not be the right fit.)
