Older lady seeks cleaning work urgently


Anne Maple

Recommended Posts

I am 60 years old and have arthritis in my feet, hands, back and knee. I do cleaning jobs and regularly advertize on this forum. I have excellent references. My income has been topped up by DWP ESA for a year now on medical grounds. I found out yesterday I had failed a DWP medical despite the state of my hands and feet. My benefit top up was stopped with no warning yesterday and i am required to sign on Jobseekers for unrestricted full time work which I could not do. An appeal will take months and if the PIP assessment was anything to go by it will be a waste of time. I urgently need 3 more jobs at least to make ends meet. I can clean easy flats with a few stairs, I can do ironing and feed pets. Not big houses. I normally charge ?10 ph and provide all my own cleaning materials except a hoover. I will consider anything. New Cross, Telegraph Hill Nunhead, Peckham Camberwell or anywhere near a bus stop from New Cross prefered.

Any houses with new students nearby that need a cleaner? Anyone want a cleaner to come in and leave everything clean and tidy with washing and ironing done while they are at work?. I have excellent references from students who have just graduated and moved on, and other clients. My details are as follows:

I am an older person who was born on Telegraph Hill and have lived all my life on Telegraph Hill and in New Cross. After a lifetime of careers as a Nursing Auxiliary, Librarian, Teaching Assistant, Met Police PCSO and Detention Officer, Residential Home Laundry Manager and RHS Gardener, I have run my own registered sole trader cleaning/gardening business for the last few years, working mostly in Dulwich. After a broken leg in 2013 I am now working closer to home within walking/bus distance of my home in New Cross. I was expecting to retire in February 2015 but the government requires me to work a further six years so I am very successfuly earning a pre retirement living by cleaning small flats and ironing.


I have excellent references. I am CRB checked and have Public Liability Insurance. My extensive CV is available via email.


I can also do small pet sitting. I run my own animal rescue group and work closely with local animal charities so I have lots of experience with animals.


I usually charge ?10ph and provide all my own cleaning materials, do please contact me for a free quote.

Many thanks, Anne Maple

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
