A few months ago, on January 2nd, I took a huge leap and started my solo cleaning business. I walked away from a job that made me feel undervalued, overworked, and unappreciated. A place that forgot the most important parts of this industry — care, respect, trust, and understanding. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made, but it ended up being the best one. Deep down, I knew I wanted to build something different.
Since then, life has been moving fast in the best way possible. I turned 30 right before Christmas, I’m planning my wedding with my amazing fiancé, and at the same time I’ve been building this business completely on my own from the ground up. A solo cleaning business that reflects who I am, how I work, and the standards I believe in.
To now have 20 amazing clients, with 2 more estimates still to do, honestly feels surreal. And I can’t believe I’m saying this already— but as of right now, I am no longer accepting clients.
I’m beyond proud of myself for taking the risk and believing in what I could create. Taking the risk to bet on myself changed my life. I’m so grateful I had the courage to walk away from something that was not only disorganized and lacked respect, but a job that truly never appreciated the care I put into it. No job is worth feeling unsafe, unsupported, or undervalued.
Choosing myself forced me to grow, trust my abilities, and realize that I was capable of building something better. I get to slow down and truly care for my clients and their homes instead of rushing through people like they’re just another number. I get to focus on the details, build real relationships, and create an experience where people feel comfortable, supported, and cared for in their own space.
Watching my schedule fill up and my business continue to thrive has been such a rewarding feeling. This business is so much more than “just cleaning” to me. It’s trust. It’s consistency. It’s helping people feel lighter when life gets overwhelming. It’s creating peace in the spaces people come home to every single day.
To every client who has supported me, referred me, left kind reviews, recommended me to friends and family, or simply trusted me enough to let me into your home — thank you. Truly. Your support has helped me build something I once only dreamed about.
And I especially want to thank my parents and my fiancé for being my biggest supporters. I love you all so much.
Starting over was scary, but choosing myself was worth it.
