Housekeeping Service by the Inside-Out Shop

About

Two openings for regular cleaning service available as of August 1, 2018, Wasilla, Palmer, Anchorage.

Hello, my name is Lacey Brooks. I am 38 years old, and a mother of two teenage girls. My husband Don and I own our home here in Wasilla, and are proud to be part of this growing community. I love gardening and working with herbs, making my own jams and jellies from fruit I've harvested, going on nature walks and taking pictures.

As for housekeeping, I have several years of prior experience, working in hotel settings as well as residential homes. I worked for Quality Inn and Suites in Sandpoint, ID from 1999 - 2003, and for the Stikine Inn in Wrangell, AK around 2004-2005. I worked for a residential cleaning service called Peachee Clean in Anchorage, AK for several months in 2006, before I branched off into childcare and social services. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from UAF in 2008, while I was living in Anchorage (distance ed program).

I have worked in social services and been a care provider in schools and childcare centers during the last decade or so. I worked for Hope Community Resources in Anchorage, in the children's mental health department, for seven years. My last job was at Snowshoe Elementary School, and I loved it there - hoping to get on the sub list this year and get to know some new schools in the area.
I would like to pursue a master's degree in special education someday, and in the meantime am trying my hand at entrepreneurship.

I am planning to grow my retail business alongside my housecleaning service, but I promise not to pressure you to buy things from me. You may ask me about products and I'd be happy to make some time to go over what I've got with you, though. Online scheduling is available via my website, which I will be happy to share with you if you like.

My rate is $25 per hour. A typical 3 bed, 2 bath family home should take me about 4-5 hours to clean. I am willing to work in Wasilla, Palmer, Anchorage, and nearby communities. South of Anchorage is too far for me though - I live in Wasilla.

If you think we may be able to work together, please contact me to set up a time to meet. We can go over my resume and references, I can answer questions and tell you about what's in my cleaning kit. My current background check is available on my Care.com profile.

Thank you for considering me,

Lacey Brooks
