What kind of work would I do?
Housekeepers generally perform domestic cleaning services. The typical service is four hours long, the "Hometown Special". Sometimes
Clients request buffet servers, party help, errands, organizing, etc. Housekeepers MUST call Clients prior to the service to agree what
work will need to be done.
How much does Nana pay per hour?
Nana pays Housekeepers $10/hour! Ten dollars per hour! Plus, you get tips. We're looking for some loyal, hard-working folks and we pay
quite well compared to the Industry.
How much is the usual tip?
Think in terms of a restaurant tip. It will vary with the service the Client needs. Tips in general tend to increase during the holiday season.
Nana's Housekeeping encourages tips, but it isn't required of the Client.
How often do I work?
You must be able to work at least three days a week. We offer AM (8:00-12:00) and PM (1:00-5:00) shifts and you can mix and match to
whatever fits your schedule. Let us know if you would be available for evening shifts for party hosting and serving. We value our
Housekeepers and we know this can be a great opportunity for the right person.
Who provides cleaning supplies?
The Clients will have their favorite cleaning products and cleaning appliances ready for you.
Who are the Clients?
Most of our Clients are in the Kyle/Buda and Coastal Bend areas, hard working folks who need a break from cleaning.
Who are the Housekeepers?
Nana's Housekeeping is a proud Christian business, and we look to work with all kinds of people who have values that align with our own
beliefs. We are also very interested in working with stay-at-home moms, students, and others who would be available for daytime shifts on
a regular schedule.
How does Nana's Housekeeping work?
When we have a Client in your area who requests service during a time you are available, we set up the appointment. Housekeepers
MUST contact Clients prior to the scheduled time to agree on the services, get directions, etc. Nana's will help you with directions, too.
How do I get paid?
When the Housekeeper arrives at the Client's house, payment is verified and the service is completed. At the end of the week, you turn in
any collected payments and you get your paycheck. The tips you get along the way are yours (you claim those on your taxes.) The
Housekeeper is paid an hourly wage on a weekly basis. Paychecks will be provided through PayPal or by written check, whichever the
Housekeeper prefers.
What is an Independent Contractor?
An Independent Contractor works for himself. Housekeepers are representatives of, but not employees of Nana's Housekeeping. We do
not offer benefits, we do not withhold taxes, and Housekeepers should carry liability insurance of their own. It is a typical work agreement
used for other contractors such as designers, plumbers, landscapers, etc.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT
This Agreement is entered into as of the [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ], between Nana’s Housekeeping (a.k.a. Nana's, “the Company”)
and [________________] (“the Contractor”).
1. Independent Contractor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby engages the Contractor as an
independent contractor to perform the services set forth herein, and the Contractor hereby accepts such engagement.
2. Duties, Term, and Compensation. The Contractor’s duties, term of engagement, compensation and provisions for payment thereof shall
be as set forth in the estimate previously provided to the Company by the Contractor and which is attached as Exhibit A, which may be
amended in writing from time to time, or supplemented with subsequent estimates for services to be rendered by the Contractor and
agreed to by the Company, and which collectively are hereby incorporated by reference.
3. Confidentiality. The Contractor acknowledges that during the engagement [he or she] will have access to and become acquainted with
various trade secrets, inventions, innovations, processes, information, records and specifications owned or licensed by the Company
and/or used by the Company in connection with the operation of its business including, without limitation, the Company’s business and
product processes, methods, customer lists, accounts and procedures. The Contractor agrees that [he or she] will not disclose any of the
aforesaid, directly or indirectly, or use any of them in any manner, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, except
as required in the course of this engagement with the Company. All files, records, documents, blueprints, specifications, information,
letters, notes, media lists, original artwork/creative, notebooks, and similar items relating to the business of the Company, whether
prepared by the Contractor or otherwise coming into [his or her] possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. The
Contractor shall not retain any copies of the foregoing without the Company’s prior written permission. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, or whenever requested by the Company, the Contractor shall immediately deliver to the Company all such
files, records, documents, specifications, information, and other items in [his or her] possession or under [his or her] control. The
Contractor further agrees that [he or she] will not disclose [his or her] retention as an independent contractor or the terms of this Agreement
to any person without the prior written consent of the Company and shall at all times preserve the confidential nature of [his or her]
relationship to the Company and of the services hereunder.
4. Conflicts of Interest; Non-hire Provision. The Contractor represents that [he or she] is free to enter into this Agreement, and that this
engagement does not violate the terms of any agreement between the Contractor and any third party. Further, the Contractor, in rendering
[his or her] duties shall not utilize any invention, discovery, development, improvement, innovation, or trade secret in which [he or she] does
not have a proprietary interest. During the term of this agreement, the Contractor shall devote as much of [his or her] productive time,
energy and abilities to the performance of [his or her] duties hereunder as is necessary to perform the required duties in a timely and
productive manner. The Contractor is expressly free to perform services for other parties while performing services for the Company. For
a period of six months following any termination, the Contractor shall not, directly or indirectly hire, solicit, or encourage to leave the
Company’s employment, any employee, consultant, or contractor of the Company or hire any such employee, consultant, or contractor who
has left the Company’s employment or contractual engagement within one year of such employment or engagement.
5. Right to Injunction. The parties hereto acknowledge that the services to be rendered by the Contractor under this Agreement and the
rights and privileges granted to the Company under the Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, and extraordinary character which
gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in any action at law, and the
breach by the Contractor of any of the provisions of this Agreement will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage. The
Contractor expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, a
breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Contractor. Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any other rights or remedies that the Company may have for damages or otherwise. The various rights and remedies of the
Company under this Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other or of
any right or remedy allowed by law.
6. Merger. This Agreement shall not be terminated by the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other entity.
7. Termination. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice to the Contractor. In addition, if the Contractor is
convicted of any crime or offense, fails or refuses to comply with the written policies or reasonable directive of the Company, is guilty of
serious misconduct in connection with performance hereunder, or materially breaches provisions of this Agreement, the Company at any
time may terminate the engagement of the Contractor immediately and without prior written notice to the Contractor.
8. Independent Contractor. This Agreement shall not render the Contractor an employee, partner, agent of, or joint venture with the
Company for any purpose. The Contractor is and will remain an independent contractor in [his or her] relationship to the Company. The
Company shall not be responsible for withholding taxes with respect to the Contractor’s compensation hereunder. The Contractor shall
have no claim against the Company hereunder or otherwise for vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, social security, worker’s
compensation, health or disability benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, or employee benefits of any kind.

Company.
10. Successors and Assigns. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, if any, successors, and assigns.
11. Choice of Law. The laws of the state of Texas shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the
interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.
12. Arbitration. Any controversies arising out of the terms of this Agreement or its interpretation shall be settled in Texas in accordance
with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the judgment upon award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
13. Headings. Section headings are not to be considered a part of this Agreement and are not intended to be a full and accurate
description of the contents hereof.
14. Waiver. Waiver by one party hereto of breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other shall not operate or be construed as a
continuing waiver.
15. Assignment. The Contractor shall not assign any of [his or her] rights under this Agreement, or delegate the performance of any of [his
or her] duties hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Company.

or failure to act of contractor.
18. Modification or Amendment. No amendment, change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by the
