Actual Homemaker JOB?!?!

I just had to write about this. Whilst searching the internet for housekeeping tips--after all, I'd like to one day not be quite so hapless--I came across a job listing from CVRNA for a Homemaker. At first, I thought it was a joke or perhaps some guy was looking for a mail-order bride type thing. But, no, it was a serious job description...let's see what a paid, professional homemaker does...


"Homemaker-Personal Home Services - Paraprofessional - Per Diem - Non-Benefitted
Performs light homemaking tasks for client's in their home such as dusting, damp/dry mopping, vacuuming, cleaning kitchen appliances, cleaning bathroom fixtures, laundry and making beds." Yep...that sounds about right--although I'm not great about any of those tasks--I do eventually get around to doing these things. I guess I'm one step ahead--I at least have benefits!
"CRVNA offers on-the-job training to qualified candidates." Who knew there was training available?!?! Perhaps that's where I've gone wrong--I have no training!! Maybe with training I'd be able to sew something without sewing myself to the item!!! (more on that another time.)
"What are the requirements for a Homemaker? ·Must have a high school diploma or GED ·Must be at least 18 years of age·Caring and compassionate ·Dependable and reliable·Able to meet the training requirements·Dependable Automobile with Insurance ($100,000/$300,000) for community work·Acceptable Criminal Record Check report·Completion of a Post Offer Pre-employment Physical Must be able to understand and carry out directions and instructions, record messages and keep records. Is able to read, write and speak English. Is physically and emotionally capable of performing the job requirements."
Out of curiosity, I called and found that the pay varies--from $20-$30 per hour!! My gosh!!This is very handy information to have, methinks...just store it away...
