What is your occupation?

Housekeeper, Cleaning Ninja

What made you want to get involved in this line of work?

Out of geographic convenience, I began working for a large cleaning service. Five years and thousands of cleanings later, I knew this was how I wanted to help people and put my mark on this planet. Whether it is helping the elderly to live more independently or letting that new mom take some much-needed rest, I find cleaning for others very fulfilling. However, I did not enjoy the politics of working for a large, cold company. So, I decided to start Partners in August of 2022 and I haven't looked back since. 

What has been the most rewarding aspect of your work as a housekeeper in Butler?

Seeing firsthand how a fresh, tidy space can improve one's mental and physical health. In many cases, I visit customer's homes more than their own families do. It is difficult not to form a connection and friendship with them.

What is the biggest challenge that you have faced in business as a housekeeper in Butler and how did you overcome it?

Without a doubt, the most difficult part has been pricing my work. After meeting and speaking with others at the cowork, I learned that I was not experiencing a unique struggle. The best advice I received was to price-check my competitors, and based on my experience, I should fall somewhere in the middle.

What business tips would you like to share with others?

If your goal is to build and remain a company of one like I did, make sure to build a behind-the-scenes support team. I found my accountant, advisor team, and marketing expert just from attending events at the cowork.

What has been your favorite part about working at ConnectWork on Main?

It is a safe, distraction-free place to handle all of my administrative tasks.
