School is out. The heat is here. The official first day of summer is right around the corner. You know what that means… It’s time to start the season off with a professional home cleaning with Well-Paid Maids.
Well-Paid Maids isn’t your run-of-the-mill cleaning company. It’s the only certified living-wage cleaning company in the D.C. area. That means cleaners, who are classified as W-2 employees, earn a starting wage of $24 an hour and get benefits, like insurance and 24 paid days off a year.
June 16 is International Domestic Workers Day, and Well-Paid Maids is celebrating!
International Domestic Workers Day honors house cleaners, nannies and care workers. It marks the anniversary of the 2011 passage of the International Labour Organization Convention that established international labor laws for domestic workers.
Aaron Seyedian launched the home cleaning company Well-Paid Maids in June 2017 and, that August, began offering cleaning services around the D.C. area with his staff of three — including himself.
At the time, he paid cleaners a living wage of $16 an hour, plus benefits.

Fighting food insecurity, feeding families.
Angela Marshall, MD, Marcia Parris, MD and Christina Neal, PA-C now offer a concierge medical option at their Silver Spring and Glenn Dale offices, with 24/7 availability to a provider, same-day appointments, and extended visits. Comprehensive Concierge Care members are also offered a complimentary, personalized weight loss program with check-ins, monitoring and medications.
“Since women’s symptoms can be so different than what medical training teaches us, I learned that the most important skill for a doctor treating a woman is to listen,” says Dr. Marshall. “Our concierge program allows us the time to do just that. We’re so gratified to see the results, from helping people lose weight safely to even saving a life by diagnosing a condition missed in a local ER.”
