Today we’d like to introduce you to Jesenia Garcia
Hi Jesenia, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I began my career as a housekeeper in a hotel, but I found the fast-paced environment unfulfilling. I realized I sought greater satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment in my work, which I could not achieve in the hotel industry. This led me to contemplate starting my own cleaning business. I have always had a passion for creating clean spaces and take pride in the comfort that a clean environment can provide to its inhabitants.
To initiate my venture, I visited the local dollar store to gather basic cleaning supplies, all while managing tight finances. Despite my limited resources, I was determined to invest in the tools that would not only serve my business but also bring me joy.
After leaving my position in the hotel, I recognized the importance of diversifying my experience. I took a job cleaning bathrooms at a local park. Although it was not my ideal position, I believed that every visitor deserved a clean restroom, even during their leisure time.
Still seeking further opportunities, I applied for additional roles and secured a position on a Navy base, where I was responsible for cleaning high-stakes areas such as labor and delivery, ICU, and cancer unit rooms. I relished this role; it provided valuable experience and allowed me to connect with others in the industry. This position eventually led me to Scripps Memorial in La Jolla, where I continued to build my network while cleaning various rooms, further solidifying my standing within the cleaning sector.
My efforts paid off when a staff member approached me to clean her home. This opportunity sparked a series of referrals, and I am grateful for the growth I have experienced since then. Nearly all my current clients are a result of word-of-mouth recommendations. I have transitioned from purchasing supplies at the dollar store to valuing high-quality products, becoming a regular at Home Depot. I am pleased to report that my business is licensed and thriving, with a steady stream of bookings keeping me busy.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The winter months can present certain challenges for our business. Typically, this season brings a slowdown, with fewer cleaning requests as clients tend to stay home. However, I am deeply appreciative of my loyal clients, who not only keep me busy but also continue to refer me to others. Their support is invaluable during this time.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
