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.

Emma $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others. I have experience caring for children, pets, and assisting with household tasks, and I’m known for being responsible, organized, and calm under pressure. My background in political science and current graduate studies in psychology have strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and understanding of people’s needs. Whether it’s providing a safe, engaging environment for children, offering companionship to seniors, caring for pets, or helping with errands and light housekeeping, I strive to make life a little easier for the families I work with. I value honesty, kindness, and reliability, and I treat every person with the same respect and care I would want for my own loved ones.
