I’ve always loved cleaning. It calms my mind, and I never get tired of that moment when you step back and see the difference. I started out helping family and friends who had fallen behind, and I saw what it did for them. They had more energy, and they stopped worrying about people dropping by.

Most cleaning companies expect the house to be picked up before they get there. I don’t. Some weeks you need floors and dusting. Other weeks it’s a pile of packages or the kitchen after a party. That’s why I work by the hour, so your time goes where you need it.

I’m there every visit. On bigger jobs and tight deadlines, my partner Ricky and my daughter Ella work right alongside me.
