A 21-YEAR-OLD woman shared how she makes £8,000 a month working only five hours a day at a job that requires no experience.

The savvy worker revealed on TikTok how she made almost £2,000 in a single week.
Charlotte works as a cleaner with a schedule of no more than five hours a day from Monday to Friday.
The young woman pockets anywhere from £250 to £330 a day.
She started cleaning to make some extra cash while studying social and criminal justice at university.
But soon Charlotte discovered an unlikely passion for transforming grubby homes and turned it into a successful cleaning company with nine members of staff.
The young entrepreneur runs Care Cleaning Services in Sydney, which regularly cleans the cluttered homes of hoarders – an experience she said was “overwhelming” at first.
And she shares her journey on TikTok, showing the realities of her job inside the messy homes – with some homes having rubbish piled up to the ceiling.
The enormity of the tasks means that she can charge between £2,650 and £10,500 for her services in a hoarder’s home.
In one of her videos, she broke down her expenses to show how much profit her business has earned her.
After deducting salary of employees, accountant, insurance and invoicing system, Charlotte is left with a little over £1,800 a week.
“That does sound like a lot of money but I do like to invest quite a bit of it towards the business.
“And also take some home to put away into savings, so that I can save up for a home,” she added.
The gruelling work means she can make £250 in only three hours of cleaning – a figure that received some backlash from online trolls accusing her over over-charging.
One user wrote: “£250 for three hours? Cleaners get max £15 an hour.”
Yet, Charlotte hit back in a later video stating: “Don’t be scared to set your prices at what you deserve.”
She also explained that even though she normally works only half a day, she profits off the job of her employees as well and the business requires her constant attention.
Charlotte reveals from start to finish what the job entails, starting with gloves, heavy duty bin bags and a mask.
She might face any amount of horrors from rotting food to leaking bin bags and mouldy bathrooms.
Once the rubbish is cleared, she starts decluttering, throwing out and washing anything dirty.
Next, she goes to town with all kinds of clever cleaning products to remove the dirt, grime or mould.
“It is so easy to assume why someone’s house is the way it is, but there are so many factors that contribute to a hoarder’s home,” the 21-year-old said tells her followers online.
“Mental health plays a significant role in the cleanliness of one’s home so before comment, think about what you’re saying.”
Charlotte says she tries to clean the worst of these for free or at low prices.
“Being able to help people that feel there is no way out is the best feeling in the world. You just have to put your head down and go for it,” she told FEMAIL.
And she described her toils as “therapeutic”, insisting: “I always say, the dirtier the better.”
Her latest task involved cleaning a house in complete squalor where she found a dead bird and poo.
In February, the successful cleaner even managed to stumble on an extremely lucky find in a hoarder’s home.
She was pulling up old carpet when she discovered an extremely rare 1930s Australian coin worth a fortune.
“When we ripped up the carpet I realised there is so much history in this house, with the lady living here her whole life,” she told her followers.
“We found old newspapers and even a penny that was valued more than [£22,000].”
