How did your journey start in your career and get to where you are now?
My career began in 2016 when my sister-in-law, about to go on maternity leave, asked me to help find a helper. After reaching out to friends, family, and church members, I found a woman from church who still works for her today.
Soon after, more people began reaching out for help finding housekeepers, and that's how Sisters @ Work was born—a business placing trusted housekeepers.
Around the same time, TikTok was trending, and my son encouraged me to share cleaning tips.
Hesitant at first, I posted a video of a simple back-to-school shower clean, and it went viral.
Now, we've grown significantly, and I've stepped back from daily operations. We even have uniforms, adding professionalism and making our team easily identifiable to clients.
The journey has been amazing, and I'm so proud of what we've built together.
What are your cleaning tips for fabrics in spring and summer?
