Expand Your Income. Work When You Want. We Handle Everything Else.
Cara's Cleaning is a top-rated Twin Cities cleaning company connecting experienced cleaning professionals with a steady stream of high-quality residential clients. You bring the skills, and we bring the bookings, the backend, and the business.
Built by Someone Who Believes Cleaners Deserve Better
Cara’s Cleaning started with a simple idea: great cleaners shouldn’t have to spend their time chasing leads, managing bookings, or worrying about getting paid. They should be able to do what they’re actually good at, and get paid well for it.
We built the platform that handles everything on the business side: marketing, online booking, client communication, scheduling, and payouts. In return, our partner cleaners focus entirely on delivering top-tier service to a growing base of loyal residential clients across the Twin Cities.
We’re a top-rated local cleaner – not a corporate franchise – which means we treat our cleaning partners as the professionals they are. We’re selective about who we bring on because quality matters to us and to the clients who trust us with their homes.
If you’re an experienced cleaning professional who’s tired of the grind of running your own business from scratch – or a contract cleaner looking for additional earning opportunities – Cara’s Cleaning is the partnership you’ve been looking for.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before applying.
What does the pay structure look like?
The pay range is based on commission. Your efficiency directly affects your effective hourly rate – the faster and better you clean, the more you earn per hour. Expect to average between $25-$35 per hour based on job type and frequency.
Am I an employee or an independent contractor?
You would be an independent contractor (1099), not a W2 employee. This means you set your own schedule, bring your own supplies, and are responsible for your own taxes. In exchange, you get maximum flexibility and control over your work.
Do I need to have my own cleaning supplies?
Yes. As an independent contractor, you are responsible for bringing your own professional-grade cleaning supplies and a reliable vacuum to each job. Clients provide their own homes — you provide the expertise and the tools.
What if I don't have General Liability Insurance yet?
You must have General Liability Insurance before you start your first job. If you don’t currently have it, that’s okay — we can point you in the right direction. GLI is typically affordable for independent cleaners and is a one-time setup that protects you as well as the clients.
Do I have to take every job that's offered to me?
No. You control your calendar and your availability. We work with your schedule. We do ask that if you accept a job, you show up — reliability is the foundation of this partnership. But we will never pressure you to take more work than you want.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve the Greater Twin Cities area, including Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Edina, Plymouth, Minnetonka, Woodbury, Maple Grove, and surrounding communities. Candidates should live within approximately 35 minutes of Minneapolis.
What happens if a client isn't satisfied with a clean?
We operate on a 100% satisfaction guarantee for our clients, which means we handle client communication and any re-clean situations directly. We’ll document the situation with photos and work through it together. Clear expectations and checklists are part of your onboarding so you always know exactly what’s expected. 99% of challenges are easily solved through communication between you, our office, and the client. We truly partner to make sure the arrangement works for all.
