I have always loved to clean, I find it soothing! I have been cleaning residential, commercial, apartments and rental houses for about 10 years now and I love it! Working hours are between 8-5 during the week and every other weekend. Shoot me a message with what you're thinking, I can be pretty flexible. I provide my own organic products so no need to provide anything unless there's something you'd prefer I use. :) In addition to cleaning, I enjoy pet sitting. I have always loved animals and caring for them. Whether it's a chicken, horse, dog, pig, bird, cat, iguana, you name it, I'm so there! :)

I am interested in doing normal cleaning requirements with no ironing involved. The only housekeeping jobs I have had was with watching children and tidying up when they took naps and the other was many years I cleaned the owner of a condo when she had family guests that were going to stay at her place so I did laundry and cleaned the entire place by dusting, vacumming and mopping.
