************@*****.***
I've worked for Pat's cleaning service for 20 yrs which involved residential to commercial buildings. I find that cleaning
isn't just being clean and tidy but it's therapeutic as well. So the client and myself enjoys the services that I provided.
If you enjoy your job it shows by shining through with what you do. I'm 48 yrs old and have two sons that are 21 and
28 which have left the nest. I have a lot of time on my hands and wanted to start up cleaning on my own with my goal
of achieving my own cleaning business one day. Thank you,. Kimberly
