Ever since I was a young girl, I remember having a certain affinity for housecleaning. It came to me naturally, almost as if by rote. So often we neglect not only our own spiritual well-being, but our living space as well. I believe it is very soothing to have a sense of order and cleanliness in the home. During earlier periods in my life I hired housecleaners and have fond memories of coming home to a clean and shining house. How wonderful it was not to worry about finding the time to clean my house myself!

I originally started cleaning houses in April of 2001 in order to work part-time and continue my education.  Over the years it has grown into more than just a job.  I have been blessed with amazing people to work for and my work has turned into a very rewarding and meaningful business.  I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing my finished work when I complete a job, knowing that someone else will enjoy the fruits of my labor.  I also enjoy becoming part of my client's lives; seeing their families grow, watching their homes transform, laughing and talking with them while I am working, connecting with and taking care of their pets, even keeping in touch with them long after they are no longer my "clients".  Most rewarding of all is gaining their trust and respect for the work that I do.

Truly, for me, it's what we do for others that heals.
