I have worked as a housekeeper in the DC area for the past 18+ years. And I moved to Phoenix four years ago. From the dust particles wiped clean off your blinds to the polishing of your wooden hand rails, I go above and beyond and make every effort to ensure a job well done. I have great references, and I have developed strong relationships with my clients over the years and consider them good friends of mine. I hope to continue that with you! *Please note: I charge flat rates, not per hour

The enjoyment of housekeeping, pet/child/adult care, personal assistant, fixer-uppers, remove/packaging of unwanted belongings, packing/moving assistance, organization of cluttered areas, may seem odd to some. However, it relieves me of everyday stress and allows me to help others, my life's calling! I'm a 45-year-old, single parent, looking to make a difference in your life; mine as well. I'm a bit crafty, provide very detailed work, and have a great work ethic. Past/current employers are always pleased with my work. References and background check provided upon request. Call on me, I'll get your job done!
