Following up on HR, managing administration, providing impeccable guidance to clients and domestic helpers… Office Manager Jodie does it all! When she started her Easy Life adventure in 2019, she was completely ready for a job with a healthy dose of responsibility. A wish that is more than fulfilled at the Easy Life Melle office! Her sidekick? Consultant Annick, with whom she keeps the office running at full speed. “Annick is my rock. Together we are a top team!” Join Jodie for a day!
6:45 AM | Good morning!
The alarm goes off at a quarter to seven, and Jodie gets ready for a new workday. At the top of her to-do list: feeding the pets! “We have a rabbit, a cat, and a little dog, since a year ago. It’s lovely! Afterwards, I hop in the car and drive to the office in 20 minutes. I live nearby, so it’s extra nice that I don’t have to commute far.”
7:45 AM | Kick-off with coffee
The office in Melle opens at half past eight, but Annick and Jodie hit the ground running forty-five minutes earlier. “We do that on purpose, so we have plenty of time to process the first emails. Absences, schedule shifts… Annick and I go through everything together. And the first one to arrive makes the coffee. That’s the deal! (laughs).”
8:30 AM | All-round duties
Together with Annick, Jodie runs the office from A to Z. The planning? That varies from week to week and day to day. “Drafting new contracts, fine-tuning the schedules, ensuring salaries are paid on time, consulting with Annick… Super varied! It’s quite a responsibility, sure, but that’s exactly what gives me satisfaction!”
12:30 PM | Lunch break
In the afternoon, Jodie and Annick hit the pause button. “Despite the busy schedule, we try to have lunch together in the kitchenette every afternoon. Just to recharge, so we can come back with a bang! In the meantime, of course, we remain on standby for clients, because the lines and doors remain open continuously.”
2:00 PM | Job interviews at the office
In addition to daily office operations, Jodie takes care of the recruitment and selection of new domestic helpers. “We are constantly looking for new cleaning talent. To that end, we invite candidates to the office for a chat and sometimes a practical cleaning or ironing test. The focus point during recruitment? Motivation, without a doubt!”
5:00 PM | Closing time!
After a busy day, Annick and Jodie close the door behind them with a sense of satisfaction. Clients helped, administration processed, checklists ticked off: triple check! “Annick and I are perfectly attuned to each other; together we make the office buzz. And sometimes we even dare to order a pizza after work. The atmosphere is great!”

Your family member would like to hire a cleaner, but is unable to apply for service vouchers. Your neighbor wants to switch to electronic service vouchers, but is not comfortable using a computer. These are all situations where it is easier if someone else handles the application. But can I order service vouchers for someone else? Cleaning agency Easy Life explains!
