    Question Housemom~Applying for the job~Please list what You would Love A Housemom to Do/Offer

    I'm going to be applying for a position as a Housemom, and would like your opinion on things I can offer, do, to not only get the job, and keep the job.
    In reading the thread here touching on the topic, I'd like a list, so I can be prepared.
    I know what I want, being a former dancer, both in local clubs, and on tour, but I'm sure there are more things I haven't even thought of, because I haven't danced for many years in a club environment.
    Thanks So much ladies for your input.

    Is this for your application/interview or just for general advice if/when you're hired? What management thinks is important for a housemom to do doesn't necessarily align with that's best for the dancers, so make sure you come at it not just from a former dancer/advice from current dancers perspective.

    Personally, I don't really care for housemoms. I find they take up space in the dressing room and I always bring my own stuff anyway, so I just don't use their services. Obviously not at all dancers are like that though. I think the two biggest things would be to (1)always be prepared with the things dancers most need (baby wipes, tampons, hair spray, gum) and (2)be the welcome wagon for new dancers, be they newbies or just new to the club. You can help prevent transgressions of the unspoken rules of dancing, and help make sure newbies don't turn in to trainwrecks -- both of those make for a very positive club culture! I guess a good housemom is one that's never in the way (ie. don't take up a whole counter if there's limited space) but is always there when needed. Try not to play favourites or get cliquey too!

    ^^Both- What to tell the manager that will make them hire me, what I will really do once I'm in to make dancers feel comfortable.
    I really think I would be great at it, not only from a former dancer's perspective, but I am always the one irl to make sure my friends are taken care of both when we go out as a group, or at intimate gatherings in my home'
    Being a good listener, and nurturer has served me well in other areas of my professional, and personal life.

    -NOT gossip
    -remind a girl she's on stage if the dancer doesn't seem to realize it
    -Snacks
    -microwave meals (ramen cups, etc)
    -Tylenol/Midol/Tums
    -cigarettes
    -Gum/mints/Listerine
    -Aerosol deodorant
    -body sprays
    -Hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes
    -idk why but girls at my club always forget locks so maybe have a few combination locks you could sell?
    -Cell phone chargers
    I don't really expect a house mom to do anything except have stuff girls might need during a shift at work, and she should only expect a tip if a dancer uses her stuff. I agree with Shanna Dior that if a house mom takes up a ton of space in the dressing room, I'd rather not have one at all. My current house mom also sells outfits and her setup takes over about half the dressing room right now, it's so annoying.

    My biggest complaint about housemoms I've worked with is that they spend too much time on the floor or in the smoking area and not enough time in the dressing room. Her primary duty should be to monitor the locker room and make sure girls don't steal/start fights with each other. The girls are pretty good about seeing to their own needs re; baby wipes, deodorant etc. If your club doesn't have a kitchen, maybe bring some snacks?

    Snacks of some kind is the main thing I would use one for, if I forget to bring my own.
    My club now has vending machines, so it's not really an issue, and most of the day girls will take breaks to go get take-out, but the weekend nights house mom brings in some kind of crockpot meal and a dessert.

    Ugh I've always hated house moms...having to tip someone out even though I always bring everything I need is more than obnoxious. All the house moms I have come in contact with were cliquey, bitchy, and had obvious favorites. Not welcoming at all.

    I second the helping new girls feel welcome, prevent girls from stealing, and have rubber bands, scissors, and gorilla glue for broken shoes.
