HOUSEKEEPING: I have over 31 years hands on experience, covering all aspects of making sure a home is a comfortable, clean and welcoming environment to live in. My skills as a Housekeeper have been gained running houses, from a 7-bedroom property in the Wiltshire countryside, a 5-bedroom residence in Kathmandu, Nepal; where I had to organise and manage the household staff to a flat in the city of Brighton, albeit my own homes. My experience of running homes abroad has added elements to my knowledge of running a house efficiently and to a high standard.
