Yes. Everyone we send into a McLean home 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 home and belongings are covered while we work. That structure exists precisely so McLean clients never have to wonder who is holding the key. Any team member entering your house can be identified in advance.
