I worked for Tucson Unified School District for 3 years as an after school care supervisor. Additionally, I worked for 2 summers as a children’s sports camp counselor for Tucson Country Club. Through these experiences, I met wonderful families who entrusted me with watching their little ones at home. I took care of dozens of pets for families I worked for as well as house sat for extended periods (maximum 3 weeks). I am responsible, diligent, and courteous and would love to help you relax while you’re away!
“Thanks!”
Hi! My name is Caroline and I am currently 19 and a student at Rhodes College. I have close to 5 years of experience working with children. I have worked as an assistant and a teacher at summer camps with elementary age kids, and I have worked several babysitting/ tutoring jobs throughout high school with kids aged 2-8 years old!
“Caroline was great. Very communicative and asked a lot of thoughtful questions. I loved that she texted an update when my oldest was fighting sleep. She was so attentive and kind. Thank you, Caroline!”
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.
