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.

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! ”
Hi - My name is Mo and I'm a nanny & home organizer. I am mainly offering weekend household services at this time. I do occasionally accept child care requests. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, etc. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. My daughter is well behaved and will sometimes accompany me when I babysit.
