Housekeeping professional who keeps properties spotless, runs operations smoothly, and solves guest issues quickly.
What I'm looking for
I’m a housekeeping and guest-services professional based in Calgary, Alberta, with about 3 years of experience supporting short-term rentals and hotel operations. I take pride in reliability, organization, and making sure every detail is handled.
Most recently, I worked as an Airbnb Cleaner for Pg properties (Jan 2023 to May 2025), where I completed all housekeeper duties and also took charge of ordering cleaning products. I supported scheduling and assignment of cleaners to properties so things ran smoothly, and I even prepared cleaning product bags to ensure staff had everything they needed.
Earlier, I served as Head Housekeeper/Guest Services at Olympia Motel & Lodge (May 2023 to Apr 2024), where I was the ONLY housekeeper and handled housekeeping duties 7 days a week plus guest services. I problem-solved guest room needs and placement for special requests and supported communication when there was a language barrier between guests and my bosses.
I also have building-operations experience as a Residential Building Manager at VIP reality and management (Oct 2024 to Mar 2025), assisting with regular building manager tasks and AHS inspections—suggesting and fixing items to get units up to code and supporting renovations. I also helped address urgent occupancy issues, including removing squatters, and quickly mobilized when the building was marked condemned with only two days to move out.
