As many of know I am housekeeper for about 45 residents at an assisted living apartment complex. 95% of the folks I serve are sorely lacking in tidy home skills set,some border on being total slobs. Each day that I clean I see the same people and their same stuff, clutter, dirty old things and piles. It amazes me how a dirty dish can sit in a sink for days and days! Or how a pile of dirty clothes sits and sits! You see my job is to mainly to get rid of trash, tidy the bathroom and make the bed. I am not to really do much else as they folks are capable so to speak. It frustrates me to no end to see messes in such small living quarters!
So I have decided to offer my services to run errands and also do organizing services for these folks as a side business on my day off which for now is Thursday. I printed up 250 business cards and it cost me $5.25. I am really looking forward to starting this little home made business via word of mouth. I think I am NEEDED! I feel I can really be a huge help to some of the clients I serve on a day to day basis. I figure a homemade business is a great idea. Easy and kinda simple. i will charge as I see fit for each client. I know some have little money and others can pay a better hourly rate. I plan on being very fair but to be paid what my time is worth. I will keep you posted as to how it is going.

She also dejunks homes for people after their elderly parent has died. I can understand the need for that too--it's emotionally hard to go through our parents' things.
