Sometimes I feel like people look at me and think, “She’s just a cleaner.” Like cleaning means I haven’t achieved anything, don’t have ambitions, or don’t have bigger dreams.
And honestly, I hate hearing, “Why should you earn more than me an hour? You’re only a cleaner!”
But I’m not just a cleaner.
I have skills, qualifications, interests, hobbies, ambitions and plenty of dreams. Cleaning is simply something I choose to do.
So why do I clean?
Because I genuinely enjoy it. ❤️
I love working for myself, having the freedom to build my own business and being trusted inside people’s homes. I love taking some of the pressure off busy families, helping people who are struggling to keep on top of things, and seeing the difference a clean home can make to someone.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about finishing a job, knowing I’ve made someone’s life a little easier, walking out that door knowing my customer is happy… and leaving the stress of that house behind me.
It fits around my family.
I set my own prices because I know the value of my time, my experience, my skills and the service I provide.
So no… I’m not “just a cleaner.”
I’m a self-employed business owner, and I’m proud of what I do.
And if cleaning is what I choose to do, that doesn’t make my dreams any smaller. It means I’ve built a life where my work fits around the life I actually want. ❤️
