ABOUT FRESH SPACES CLEANING INC.

I worked as a Registered Nurse in the public health field for 10 years. In the last few years with the changing landscape around Covid-19, I began to have difficulty balancing working long hours from home with cleaning, cooking, caring for family, and other responsibilities. It was this experience that inspired me to help others in a different way… through cleaning. 

​

I already knew that a person’s environment could impact their wellness. I had seen clients in poor living conditions that made them unhappy and unhealthy. I had seen clients with physical or mental disabilities that were unable to clean, express shame and guilt. I also knew that others like myself were struggling to keep their head above water while juggling so many responsibilities; cleaning being one of them. 

​

Cleaning was already something I LOVED! I could lose myself for hours organizing, scrubbing, or polishing. I found a transformative before and after so satisfying. Having a passion for helping others, this was a no-brainer for me. I thought, I can still continue to help people in my community, but by supporting them to have a fresh space. Whether I am improving their general living conditions that contribute to health, or helping to increase their mental wellness by giving them more time back, I am supporting my community doing something I love. 

​

I began taking online courses related to professional cleaning. I took shifts with a larger cleaning company as an independent contractor. I was HOOKED! It brought me so much joy to see the difference I was making for people. I then decided to branch out on my own to start a business that reflected my own values and goals. 

​

Today I continue to do that; help the community by bringing them Fresh Spaces. I love what I do, and I hope that we can work together to make Hamilton a cleaner place.
