Cleaner and organizer
Self
01.2019 - Current
- I love coming into any environment, removing all the garbage, and organizing everything so that there is cleanliness and orderliness.
- Cleaning is its own reward for me and it's also a way I show people kindness.
- If I can, and someone is in need, I easily will help them get their life areas cleaned up.
- It's also an empowerment tool, to come into someone's personal world and organize it so they can actually see what they have without adding to the chaos in their mind/world.
- I tend to give first before asking for something in return, so I would love to get a job that pays me for doing something that I love.
- Swept and mopped floors, vacuumed carpets, and dusted surfaces.
