9. I have two separate jobs

One is being a paid care giver. The other is independent house cleaning. Sometimes my care giver jobs pertains to light housekeeping.


The reason I mentioned the care giver job is because I do some light housekeeping here and there. I have a client that hires a cleaning company that comes in to clean every so often. This company totally misses spiderwebs on top of a lampshades and on the chandeliers. There's still dust particles on top of surfaces when I arrive the following day after the cleaning company has been there. They do a great job cleaning the bathrooms, kitchen and the floors, although they completely miss spider webs and the dust.



I use to clean for another client once every two weeks. Once I learned how they liked their comforter on the bed and how a blanket was to be displayed on top of the comforter at the foot of the bed, this client would start the bedsheets in the wash right before I got there. That helped me focus on the bathroom first while the bedsheets were in the wash. I'd just be finishing up the bathroom when the bedding was ready to be put into the dryer.


It's alright to discard trash or basic clutter sitting around, organizing items and tidying up a bit before you're cleaning person shows up.
