Jobs. Ames. People. Trust.

Jobs.  Ames.  People.  Trust. 

These are the things we deal with day in and day out at Professional Home Ames.  We ARE Ames' residential cleaning service.  We provide GOOD solid jobs to 18 people in the Ames area. (as of Dec 2011) As many hours as they want, as much as they want to work.  We work our "rear ends" off in the the office to keep schedules full, to provide moms with enough work to pay for the dentist, to buy new tires, for groceries,  to Live. 

And we work hard to make sure that that job, is something they can be proud of.  Just as we are proud of the work our cleaning techs do, the work that goes into creating a clean home...we want them to be proud of the job they have, the company they work for.  

I want them to be proud of me.

The longer I own this business the more I know it is not about cleaning.  Anyone can clean (relatively speaking).  Anyone can open a cleaning business.  Anyone can have a spiffy facebook page and get lots of hype.  No, this is about people.  The staff we have, the staff that earns their place at Professional Home Ames, deserves to be here.  Deserves to be proud of their job, deserves to be acknowledged for their hard work and great care for people.  Our clients trust in us, and we continue to earn that trust at every cleaning we do. 

We are not tricky.  We are not fancy.  We are steady, and reliable.  Trustworthy and local.  This is my family base, my town.  This is where our staff is from, where they are proud to call home, and where they are raising their families.  I want to be the business that creates jobs.  Ames Jobs.  That people trust.  Most importantly, that our staff trusts and has pride in. 

I am feeling the weight of 18 families on my shoulders tonight, and feeling grateful for the jobs we can provide, because Ames trusts us to be their residential cleaning service. 

Thank you
