With over a decade of experience working as a cleaner Carmen of Carmen Cleaning & Housekeeping Services turned to Near Me to find private cleaning jobs and grow her business. Read Carmen’s story to hear how she’s keeping busy, improving her profile, and her plans for the future as restrictions begin to lift.
Getting Started as a Professional Cleaner
In 2008 I came to London and started working as a cleaner with my sister, and I’ve been working as a cleaner ever since. When I started out I was self-employed and then after two years, in 2010 I started working as an employee of a cleaning agency as well.
I continued working with the cleaning agency until last October. In October, the covid-19 furlough from the cleaning agency I worked with wrapped up.
I decided to focus on finding private cleaning jobs. So now I’m running my own business and I have a small team with two other cleaners.
My Near Me Profile Highlights My Experience
In October, I started searching and Near Me was first. I created an account and then a profile. I started with some little things and when I got emails about improving my profile, I started to put more up.
Then the success team helped me to improve my profile by describing my work and company. Since 2008, I’ve been continuously working as a cleaner. I used to work in offices and schools so I’ve gained a lot of experience. Near Me helped me to put my business in a very good light.

With Near Me I’m Confident in My Business
The point I knew Near Me would work for me was when I received an email about opening up a Tide banking account. In the past I had been thinking of opening up a similar Tide account.
When I got that email, I said something is good here. Near Me has many opportunities. Bit by bit I’ll get more work and thanks to Near Me I’m more confident. Everyday is different and exciting for me.

Offer The Best Services to Customers
When I start working for a customer I am very clear and prompt. Every customer wants a different type of cleaning and you have to be flexible. I’m also very motivated, I don’t leave the place that I’m cleaning without checking everything first. I want to please everybody.
I’m Optimistic About The Future For My Business
I’d like to develop my business more to focus on commercial cleaning. I plan to keep domestic cleaning and then focus 70-80% of my business on commercial cleaning.
This year in the summer as offices open up I think there will be more commercial cleaning jobs. We have to see, but I am optimistic.
