Real W-2 employment. Paid training. Tips. Mileage reimbursement. No tax surprises. No buying your own supplies. Consistent work with people who take pride in a job well done.
We’re hiring reliable, detail-oriented cleaners in the Ormond Beach, Daytona, Palm Coast, Port Orange & New Smyrna Beach areas.
Why Cleaners Choose Sunny Side
Hear what our team says about what it’s like working here:
We’re a locally owned residential cleaning company that’s been serving Volusia and Flagler County since 2018. We believe the only way to deliver consistently excellent cleans is to take care of the people who do the work.
That’s why every cleaner on our team is a full W-2 employee, not a 1099 contractor or gig worker. We handle your taxes, provide workers’ compensation, supply the products and equipment, and pay for training.
You’ll never be left guessing about your schedule or your pay, and you won’t get hit with a big tax bill in April.
Real Talk About Pay: W-2 vs 1099
Some companies advertise higher hourly rates on 1099. The big number looks exciting at first. Here’s what they usually don’t tell you:
On a typical 1099 job, you pay for
- Self-employment tax (about 15.3% extra on top of regular income tax)
- Your own cleaning supplies and equipment
- Your own liability insurance
- Quarterly estimated taxes, saved monthly
- Your own tax filings (or an accountant)
- No workers’ compensation if you get hurt
- No paid training in most cases
At Sunny Side (W-2), we cover
- Employer portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes
- Workers’ compensation insurance
- All cleaning supplies and equipment
- Payroll tax withholding, so no big surprises
- Paid training so you start strong
- Mileage reimbursement
That “higher” hourly rate shrinks fast once you subtract all of those costs and the tax surprise at the end of the year.
With us, you simply get a regular paycheck. Tips are yours. Mileage is reimbursed. You don’t have to chase receipts, save for taxes, or worry about buying products every week.
What You’ll Earn Here
We believe in clear, honest pay.
- Mileage: reimbursed so longer drives don’t come out of your pocket
- Future growth: as we continue raising prices and improving efficiency, a portion of those gains goes toward higher pay and better benefits for the team
Top performers who consistently deliver thorough, high-quality work earn the most through tips and recognition. We are actively working to increase total compensation for our team and regularly give pay raises and bonuses.
Real Benefits & Perks
- Full W-2 employment (we handle taxes, workers’ comp, and payroll)
- Paid training
- All cleaning supplies and equipment provided
- Mileage reimbursement
- Tips kept by you
- Flexible scheduling that works for people with families and real lives
- Consistent, recurring routes whenever possible (less chaos, more predictability)
- Supportive team environment: we actually want you to succeed and stay
We’re building a company where good cleaners can build a real career, not just bounce from one gig to the next.
What the Job Looks Like
You’ll clean homes across Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, and nearby areas. Most of our work is recurring residential cleaning, with deep cleans, move-outs, and vacation rentals mixed in.
We care deeply about thoroughness. Our customers notice the difference when baseboards, mirrors, appliances, and corners are done right, and they reward that quality with tips and loyalty.
You’ll work with a small, supportive team. We prefer to keep the same cleaners on the same homes whenever possible so you can build relationships and take real ownership of your routes.
Who Thrives Here
We’re looking for people who:
- Take genuine pride in leaving a home better than they found it
- Are reliable and show up when scheduled
- Communicate clearly and kindly with customers and the office
- Have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Prefer steady W-2 work over unpredictable gig apps and tax headaches
- Want to be part of a team that is actively improving pay, systems, and quality
Previous professional cleaning experience is a plus, but not required. We will train the right people.
Our Commitment to You
We know the biggest frustrations in this industry are low real take-home pay, long unpaid drives, inconsistent hours, and feeling replaceable. We’re actively working on:
- Raising pay for our team as the cost of living goes up
- Building denser routes (especially in Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, and Edgewater) to reduce drive time
- Creating clear standards and feedback so good work is recognized
- Treating every cleaner with respect
If you want to work somewhere that values thoroughness, reliability, and treating people well, without the 1099 tax stress, we’d love to meet you.
