Housekeeper in Oakland, California

I'm an
Individual
Do you have a home or business cleaning/organizing project that fills you with anxiety? Are you moving and feel overwhelmed about where to start? Is there a storage space you've been meaning to empty, but haven't found the energy or time? **Why stress alone when you can trust a helping hand??** I'm a ballroom dance group & events coordinator who for three years has also served as a professional working to clients' specifications organizing their homes and work spaces where supplies are provided, as well as served as housecleaner and moving assistant. As a housecleaner I've secured both recurring and one-time service positions, and as an organizer I've lent a hand in sorting and consolidating garages, homes, offices, and storage spaces. While my services as a moving assistant involve smoothing the process of packing, sorting, and moving clients seeking to re-locate, they do not provide full-service moving (i.e. a truck, additional movers, packaging materials, etc.) My clients have ranged from realtors seeking help with their properties, to business owners struggling to find time to tackle organizing/improvement projects. I've cleaned for seniors unable to maintain their homes, property owners preparing their property for sale/rental, and college students too busy to keep up with their chores. Offering light yard-cleaning (yard work too much to do alone, but too little to hire a gardener) and the possibility of house-sitting are also included. I can provide both private and professional references and a 2015 background check conducted by Aurico. * * * * * * Services range from $20-$35/hour depending on the extent of the project and any sanitary concerns involved (i.e. extreme/hoarder-level clutter, animal droppings in the work space that would require protective materials, etc.). I must be assured a minimum of 4 hours of work, or $80/appointment. Appointments must be made 5 days in advance to ensure my availability. Email or call to set up a free in-home consultation for clients in select SF Bay areas (Oakland, Berkeley, Albany/El Cerrito areas). For other areas reasonably reachable from Oakland by public transit (including SF), 60-min. in-home consultations are paid. **The charge is only for the cost of traveling.** Happy Organizing! - Kristen - **I've been cleared in a background check on Care...... Please visit www.....com for more info.** **Please note that lower cost fees can be negotiated for recurring services. To contact me directly, email knjoh02 at yahoo.** Housecleaning - $20/hour for general cleaning, $25/hour for detail work. Please specify if you have your own supplies, but equipment like vacuums, mops, brooms, etc. must be provided for me. If I bring my own supplies, let me know if you're okay with the use of cleaners that contain bleach/non-green chemicals. Odd Jobs/Yardwork - $20/hour. Moving/Organizing - $20-25/hour. **Note: Moving vehicle not provided. I will only be assisting your move as I am not a full-service mover.** House/Pet-sitting - Available selectively, pricing negotiable. House-sitting includes a COMPLIMENTARY housecleaning before your return. I don't have a car, but I do have a license. I travel by bus, BART, and bike to reach your location.

Recommendations

Sebastian S

Kristen is absolutely reliable and meticulous. She is very detail oriented and helped me reorganize my entire house from garage to cupboards, cabinets, and closets. Highly recommended!

Jeff B

Kristen Jackson is the most personable, most organized, most efficient person I know. She has helped me move house (including driving the truck), weed through my things before the move, cleaned house, and organized a Thanksgiving dinner with two days lead time. Whether engaged as a personal organizer, real estate stager, or house cleaner, she clearly recognizes how her clients work, sees patterns quickly, and takes appropriate action.

Kristen Jackson is hard working, efficient, trustworthy, dedicated to providing the best service. She has a wide range of skills, including organizing closets, garages, etc.
