Elizabeth T.

Elizabeth has been our housekeeper since the fall. I originally called her when I was recovering from herniated discs and our house was a DISASTER. She stepped right in and got us back into order. Elizabeth does a great job of working efficiently the entire time she is 'on duty' for us. What I really appreciate about Elizabeth is that she does a wide range of cleaning tasks. We used to have a cleaning service and every week it was a rush to get the house "Maid ready" because there were things they just didn't do. Elizabeth adjusts her "cleans" to what we actually need, i.e., when my back was out (and, I admit, numerous times since!) the dishes had piled up for days, the laundry was unfolded, there were toys, shoes, homework, papers, books, etc. all over the house ... Elizabeth is fine with those types of tasks as well as your more basic "cleaning person" tasks of dusting, mopping, the bathrooms, etc. I appreciate that I don't have to feel pressured to get my house into a "ready" state before she comes to clean. She is definitely very hard-working. She works the entire time she is here. She is very efficient in her methods and I never worry that she is wasting time or otherwise slacking off. She's great at following direction when there are times when I leave her a list of tasks/priorities and she is great at self-directing and just jumping in and getting things done the times when I haven't given her specific instructions/priorities. Personally, she is a quiet and friendly girl. She is easy to talk to if that is your thing but she is also able to go about her business very unobtrusively if that's what you are looking for (and I alternate, as I freelance from home so sometimes I am busy working, sometimes I am poking around on my own organizational projects, while she is here). She is great with our animals, as well. When she first started for us, we were also fostering kittens and she didn't blink at the 10 extra kittens running around the house! :) I highly recommend her.
