Q. What is your safety plan?
A. Great question!  As noted above, Tick off the List Home Services maintains Personal Optional Protection Insurance with WorkSafe BC so I'm covered in the event of a work-related injury on a job site.  The safety of my clients and my family is paramount. A relationship with my clients is based on mutual trust where we respect that both parties are healthy and we are working in a safe space. If either party feels under the weather then we agree to disclose that and set a new timeline to complete the service or project.

Before starting any household project, (for example) we will walk through the work space together to identify any safety hazards to be aware of. We will use the right tools for the job so as in the case of reorganizing a kitchen space, I ask the client to establish spaces and storage items for organization. This is key to the success of a safely delivered end result! We will also set a time for a break. Contact Niki to discuss.

Q. Are you Foodsafe certified?
A. Yes, Niki is Foodsafe Level 1 Certified.  I can share this upon request. 

Q. What do you charge? What is your hourly rate?

A. Firstly, you can expect a FREE 30 minute consultation at which time I will assess the help you need to organize your home, share some ideas, and understand your budget.  Then following your consultation, if/when an appointment is booked, I will prepare and email a rough plan for discussion and to prepare for our first day working together.      

My rate is $40.00/hr based on a three *(3) hour minimum home service.  Price includes all cleaning tools & materials and I can provide clean boxes and packing materials free of charge.  A series of appointments booked in a month would be invoiced and due on the last Friday of the month otherwise a one time service booked will be invoiced with payment due at time of receipt.  Contact Niki to discuss.

**Please note that a Kitchen reset or other major home organization project such as the Garage cannot be achieved within a three (3) hour minimum home service appointment.  Given the scope of the work involved, it would not be a realistic use of time however, there are some exceptions which could be discussed during a consul.  Nonetheless,  there are many other declutter projects around the home that can be completed within a three (3) hour service.  

Q. When are you available?
A. My schedule varies weekly ~ I'm usually available within a few weeks time.  Appointments are reconfirmed one week in advance so if a date opens up in my calendar, I will contact people on a waitlist.  A little flexibility is appreciated!  Contact Niki to discuss.
