The five-year-old took charge of the video, doing the voice over and showing her mum's viewers her cleaning routine at home.
She said: "Sunday clean day with me.
"First of all, I started lifting my mats and stripping my bed."
Her mum was helping in the background and gave her daughter's windows a good clean while her daughter cracked on with making her bed.

"I started fixing my own bed. do you like it? I'm very proud of myself," the tot added.
Next, the young girl moved on to cleaning the skirting boards with a wash cloth before cleaning the wardrobe, using a paintbrush to get into the corners.
Her mum then helped her finish the room by using a Vax carpet cleaner filled with washing powder and Lenor scent boosters to make it smell fresh.
By the end of the video the room was pristine and we have to say Nora did a great job at getting her room spotless.

But not everyone was on board.
One person wrote: "Let her be a child, my mam made me be like this and I actually resent her a little bit. She should be playing not cleaning."
