Meet the cleaner: Daria

We had a chat with Daria, one of our rising cleaners in Oslo!

Daria moved from Moscow, Russia to Norway for love a year ago and is thriving in her new city. Here, she gets to enjoy her two main hobbies: cleaning and mushroom picking! She discovered Vaskehjelp on Instagram in January and was immediately interested — here she could work with her hobby, meet new people, and learn Norwegian, all while managing her own schedule.

A popular cleaner in the capital

Daria hadn’t worked as a cleaner before joining Vaskehjelp, but a lack of professional experience hasn’t been a barrier, as organizing and cleaning have long been her hobbies.

‍

I have always been a fan of organizing and cleaning processes. It brings me joy and calms me at the same time.

‍

After six months with Vaskehjelp, Daria has gained significant professional experience. From the start, she has received glowing feedback from customers and now has several satisfied regular clients and many thumbs-up! As a Vaskehjelp cleaner, she sets her own working hours, hourly rate, and work area — and customers find and choose her based on this.

‍
Daria, on her side, enjoys meeting new clients:

‍

It opens me up to a whole world of new views, opinions, and styles. You never know who will open the door for you and that is what excites me.

‍

Motivated by results

‍
Besides meeting new people, two things really motivate Daria: dirty homes and happy customers. Her favorite jobs are the really messy homes — the more dust, the better! She enjoys seeing the home before and after she’s done, both because the contrast is exciting and because she knows she’s helping the customer enjoy their home.

– And this is reflected in customer feedback! Solveig R. says:
‍

Very happy with the result. Quick, precise and thorough and did everything exactly as we asked 😀 Highly recommended!

‍

One reason for the great feedback is Daria’s eye for detail. She says she treats every home as her own and maintains high standards:

‍

I always pay attention to details, and never leave before performing a precise final check.

‍

In fact, some customers have called Daria a lifesaver:

‍

Sometimes it might be challenging to manage everything in your life and have time left for essential chores. Many people who experience this are my customers now. I’ve heard them say that I’m a lifesaver, and that’s the best reward I can get!

‍

Many of Daria’s customers choose Vaskehjelp because they have busy lives, with children and work. She says they often struggle to balance family, work, and housework, and she’s happy to help them achieve a more harmonious daily life and a clean home. Vaskehjelp serves customers of all ages and family situations — but parents with young children are the group most often seeking help for a sparkling clean home.

Life in Oslo

Daria says she hasn’t faced many challenges as a cleaner in Oslo, though it can get busy when she has jobs on opposite ends of the city on the same day. But the city isn’t very big, and with flexible workdays, she gets to enjoy everything the capital has to offer. She loves that the forest, where she can enjoy nature and pick mushrooms, is just 20 minutes away!

‍

Daria’s journey in Oslo began with Vaskehjelp, and she is very satisfied with the future opportunities the city offers.
