She is offering her services to give your house a good once over....Her offer includes a full vacuum and dust of all rooms (even moving furniture where she can!), floor clean, full bathroom and toilet clean, skirting boards wiped down, those sneaky cobwebs on the ceiling wiped away, all kitchen surfaces and cupboard doors wiped down. She is honest and reliable, she will use your cleaning equipment and leave the place sparkly fresh. I can vouch for her personally! For this service there would be a one off charge of $35. If you would like to hire her for the day to do a clean plus some additional jobs she would charge $50 for the day. She is also available to babysit day or night and to walk your dog at great rates. So if you want some help around the house then please leave me your number and I will get in touch with you straight away :)
