Maid Service in Katy: Screened Household Maids and Housekeepers

Direct answer

Southwest Domestics places background-checked, bonded, and insured household maids and housekeepers with Katy-area families. You meet 4–5 pre-screened candidates in person at our Stafford office and choose the person who will work in your home. We are a placement agency, in business since 1990, not a cleaning crew or gig marketplace.

A placement agency, not a cleaning crew

  • The same person every visit: you choose your maid in a face-to-face interview; we do not send a rotating team.
  • Screened before you meet them: background checks on all personnel (regularly updated), verifiable references, prior experience required, and every placement is bonded and insured.
  • Your schedule: full-time (35–40 hours/week) or part-time with a 4-hour minimum per visit, live-out or live-in.
  • Your household’s duties: housekeeping plus cooking, ironing, errands, or driving if you need them; we match candidates to the whole role.
  • If it is not the right fit: we find a replacement at no additional cost.

An honest note: if you only need a one-time move-out or post-construction clean, a cleaning company is probably the better choice. Southwest Domestics focuses on ongoing household help from a person you have met and chosen.

Planning a maid search from Katy

  • Interview day: interviews are held at our Stafford office. Plan one visit to meet several candidates; the whole visit usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half.
  • Commute and schedule: tell us your exact days, hours, and location so we present candidates who can reliably cover them, or consider a live-in maid.
  • Larger homes, pools, and pets: our intake covers the number of bedrooms, pets, and any pool so the role is clear from the start.

What to tell us at the consultation

  • Number of bedrooms, pets, and any pool

  • Whether you also need childcare, e.g. a nanny–housekeeper

Supplies
