Housekeeper in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Hi families! My name is Julie and I am an experienced Child and Youth Worker with tons of experience in housekeeping. Working in a group home has prepared me for MESS. I have experience working in a home with 8 clients to clean up after. 8 beds to strip, remake and clean the remainder of the bedrooms. I was responsible for the household laundry as well as individual client clothing. On a regular day all of this laundry would be dealt with by the morning and I continued to clean the remainder of a 4 story group home. Common areas were swept and mopped daily, most times twice a day. Errands and groceries were completed as well as meal preparation for dinner. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean home simply because when working for Department of Community Services, you are subjected to pop-inspections and this prepared me to always keep a clean and comfortable living environment. I also have experience working in a hotel as a housekeeper and laundry attendant where I was assigned a minimum of 15 rooms per shift. Laundry shifts, I was responsible for washing, drying and folding all the laundry for the hotel which also included banquet table clothes and handkerchiefs. It is safe to say that I have a lot of experience picking up and cleaning after others and I certainly do not mind doing it :) I like to clean and have that feeling of accomplishment when you see that room you\'ve been working on sparkle with cleanliness. I can assure you that if you hire me as a housekeeper for your home, you will not be disappointed in my work. Thanks so much, hope to hear back from some of you! Julie I was a housekeeper and laundry room attendant for a short time for the Fredericton Inn hotel. I was assigned a minimum of 15 rooms a day when I was housekeeping. I may not have worked with hotels since 2008 but I have been a Child and Youth Care worker for the past three years. It is very important for us as youth workers to keep the homes in exceptional shape due to licensing. I have experience cleaning these homes from top to bottom and everything in between to meet the standards of Department of Community Services. On a regular day in a home with 8 clients I would be stripping beds, collecting soiled laundry, remaking these beds and cleaning all 8 bedrooms. (sweep, mop, collect garbage, food etc), I would disinfect items around the rooms. Aside from the 8 bedrooms, there were 4 bathrooms that were cleaned daily as well as the common areas of the group home were swept and mopped daily. I was also responsible for grocery shopping for the week, keeping the kitchen germ free and meal preparation. I also have the years experience of being a babysitter and being required to also tend to all housekeeping duties such as dishes, laundry (and hanging it on the clothesline), mowing the lawn and the general upkeep of a home.
