Booked by 27 families in Memphis, TN

I have extensive experience in housecleaning, having worked in both private homes and residential cleaning services. My responsibilities included thorough cleaning of various areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. I developed a systematic approach to cleaning, ensuring that tasks were completed efficiently and effectively. In kitchens, I focused on scrubbing countertops, sanitizing sinks, and cleaning appliances, ensuring a hygienic space for meal preparation. Bathrooms received special attention, where I meticulously cleaned toilets, showers, and mirrors, using appropriate products to eliminate germs and maintain a fresh environment. I also organized living spaces, dusting surfaces, vacuuming carpets, and mopping floors to create a welcoming atmosphere. My attention to detail ensured that every corner was addressed, and I adapted my cleaning methods to meet the specific needs of each household. Through my experience, I learned the importance of trust and respect in maintaining a clean and comfortable home for my clients. - Charges apply for mileage. - Additional fees for cleaning dusty blinds. - Baseboard cleaning incurs extra charges, depending on the room. -Mold. Thank you.

Jetonia was friendly and prompt! Everything she cleans smells great, and looks good.

Booked by 9 families in Memphis, TN

Hello, my name is Kayla and I am a student at The Ivy Institute of Esthetics. I am offering child and pet care. I currently work at a daycare and would like to provide care during my free time. I have also tutored kids kindergarten through second grade. I do have experience with taking care of pets as well.

Kayla did great with our 2 y/o daughter! She is reliable, flexible, and punctual. Her approach is very soft spoken and gentle. She’s reserved but you can feel her calm, patient presence. My little one quickly became comfortable with her and that stood out. We will be booking as a recurring family!
