Housekeeper in Winnetka, California

Thorough, detail-orientated, careful, considerate, trustworthy and honest household assistant with open availability especially for urgent or short notice help. I'm great for an initial purge and scrub, organizing and then maintaining. I have substantial experience in housekeeping, caring for children and elderly as I have worked in these fields for almost all my life for a family business. Personally, Im the oldest of 8 children so naturally I take charge and have a "no worries, I'll take care of it" attitude. I'm an aunt to many nephews and nieces, all of which I helped raise and one of which was in my custody for 8 years. I also cared for my grandmother and mother when they were sick. I’ve also worked in the restaurant industry most of my life so I have a good knack for cooking. Being Irish/Italian, yet lover of all cuisines, I have many great recipes, both in new/healthy and traditional comfort. I understand the struggle of maintaining a household when you are inundated with a sick or elderly family member, young children and/or a stressful career that does not allow you the time to take care of the household without enlisting help. My rule of thumb for taking care of your home and/or loved ones is to do things as if it were my home and as if it were my family. Hourly rate is dependent upon what the job entails. I ask for a min of 3 hours work each visit or a flat rate can be negotiated for less than 3 hours. I believe that my work is worth it as I'm experienced and efficient...I keep busy so I don't eat up the clock. I do have a professional housekeeping resume that I can email to further let you know my credentials. You can email at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. FYI - I do not carry cleaning equipment...using the same mop, vacuum, and/or broom in multiple homes is a great way to welcome germs, sickness, hair, dust and even bugs into the home...Ick!!! What kind of housekeeper would I be if that was the first thing I brought to your home???
