Yes. Everyone we send into an Arlington Heights house is a W-2 employee of Virginia Housekeepers, not a subcontractor found through an app. Before hiring, each candidate goes through a criminal background check, reference verification and an in-person interview. The company carries general liability insurance and is bonded, so your house and belongings are covered while we work. That structure exists precisely so Arlington Heights clients never have to wonder who is holding the key. That screening applies to every single Arlington Heights route, without exception.
