I am a bilingual woman living in Ottawa. I am currently working for the federal public service (8am-4pm), but would like to earn some more money on the side to save up for my dream of building a homestead for me and my partner, Jérôme (and our future kids and dogs). I have been cleaning with my mother for years. This woman is a neat-freak, and needs everything to be as sanitary and organized as possible. I inherited this love of cleaning and ensuring that everything is up to my high standard of sanitation. I go so far as to use Q-tips in keyboards and window sills to ensure that dirt and grime is gone. Not only do I love to clean, but I also really love taking care of kids. I used to live in West Africa with my parents while my father was working for the Canadian Embassy; I became the embassy's primary and only babysitter. I have been babysitting since I was thirteen, and have also volunteered in orphanages and children's shelters.
