About Katherine

Experience: 7 yrs

I tidy up, vacuum, do laundry and dishes, wash counters and surfaces, and do general light housekeeping. I may reject moving very heavy furniture, steaming the carpet, or hand-scrubbing (shower). I may accept the job, and charge extra, subject to my estimation and evaluation as to the exact nature of the job. I enjoy helping people, and I generally work for appreciative people who are happy to get the work done. I charge according to detail, time pressure, ease of job, and other factors, such as cleaning supplies.

Katherine is excellent. A skilled educator and VERY reliable, very dedicated Jill-of-all-trades. She has worked with our family for 3+ years in a variety of capacities - primarily tutor and housekeeper - and we have come to depend on her enormously. She is educated, punctual, communicative (not too much; not too little) and extremely professional. We come home, everything's done, and we didn't have to think about any of it. Kids homework, house cleaned, dog walked, errands run, or whatever.
