About Provider

In the early 1990s I was newly married, hoping to start a family and, after six years, growing frustrated with my job in the insurance industry. I hated the bureaucracy and wanted to be my own boss. While I was in college, I had cleaned houses to make money. At that time, it was mostly wealthy people who hired housecleaners. But with two-career couples becoming common, I saw a market for a cleaning service that was affordable to middle-class clients, people like me.\n\nI decided to quite commuting and start my own business in 1991. I didn't even own a computer then. I bought a book called \"Everything You Need to Know About Starting a Housecleaning Service\" by May Johnson. I was off and running.\n\nAs I dreamed up my idea and formulated a plan, Johnson's book, with its cartoon-like illustrations, was my business bible. It took about a year to get things going. I bought a computer, devised a budget and got licensed and insured. I created a logo--a lady wearing an apron and wielding a mop --and a slogan: \"Your time is precious. Our time is affordable.\"\n\nThe next few years were spent cleaning, hiring crew and developing systems. By the end of the 1990s, I had two babies and a growing business with two computers and an \"office helper.\" By 2005, I was a single parent, raising those two children and running the business alone...
