Help
Cleaning the house means making it nice and tidy. We start by washing dishes - plates, cups, and spoons. Then, we clean all around the house, making sure everything is neat and clean.
After that, we go to the garage. We tidy up and make it look nice. Then, it's time to fold the laundry. We make sure all the clothes are neat and put away nicely.
Next, we help in the kitchen. We chop veggies, stir pots, and help make meals. We do other things around the house to help out too. Working together, we make the house clean and cozy. It feels good to see everything neat and tidy.
Cleaning the house also means taking care of plants. We give them water to help them grow big and strong. It's like giving them a drink to make them happy. Taking care of plants is an important part of making the house nice and cozy.
If you have Digital Marketing or Website Design experience, you may help us as well. While another person will be helping around the house.
