Here starts my first series of stories about my experiences as a maid. My names is Charis Whitcomb, I am 28 years old and currently live in Ipswich, Suffolk. My mother is a Greek who has moved to England to work as a maid but eventually gets married to my wonderful father – a butler of long standing. There is no doubt why I have chosen a profession similar to my parents’. I have been raised in the spirit of devotion and family values and feel satisfied when can help the others. As a little girl, I really enjoyed doing all the housework tasks and always gave a hand to my mother. As I grew up, started working for the family my parents have working for almost 25 years. Since I wanted to achieve some success on my own, I applied for the position of a maid in another little family mansion in Ipswich, on Turkey Shore Rd. The family that lived there really liked me and my services and eventually decided to hire me. Now I live on Turkey Shore and work as a maid for these nice old people.
As you may have guessed, old people are not able to do the housework at all so they are especially in need when it comes to cleaning personnel. I work there with one more lady at the age of the 56, who is very experienced in her work and always plays the role of a godmother of mine and is always ready to help me with my tasks. It is great to have such an experienced companion when you cannot deal with the task of removing grease on the kitchen sink in time. This lady with the traditional name Mrs. Smith knows all the hangs and knacks related to the essence of a maid’ works – as you start with all the tips for cleaning the appliances, floorings, windows and blinds, and finish with numerous tricks in case of needy de-cluttering. I will reveal to you some of them if you are interested in my experience. After all, learning ideas and strategies from the source – in this case, from me and my director – is the best way to save time, money and efforts. I will post in my rubric every week with surprising suggestions about the best solutions for household problems and tasks. Eventually, creativity and experience go hand in hand and are not applicable only in the cases of professional areas but in the real field of cleaning.
