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
