Introduction

Who am I?

I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls, Keira and Liana ages 12 and 9, who are the light of my life. I am a single mom and an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. When got married I was working full-time as a legal secretary, but after my first daughter was born I wanted to minimize my time away and maximize my time caring for my family. I found that becoming a housekeeping professional provided the flexibility I needed to put my family first.

Cleaning History

In 2011, I accepted a job as one of two employed housekeepers of a large home on Van Ness in Fresno, working 2 mornings per week cleaning, organizing, and helping with any other household tasks. After my second daughter was born, I got the opportunity to begin doing housekeeping as an independent contractor. I was trained by a member of my church congregation, Mary Spano, who had been doing independent housekeeping for 13 years. She began taking me with her as a partner on cleaning jobs and even provided me with my first client. Now I have been a residential housekeeper for 10 years, have a full set of my own clients, and absolutely love my job. I thrive on customer satisfaction and love spreading happiness one clean home at a time.

I will attend to tasks such as deep cleaning of the kitchen including cleaning the inside of the microwave and polishing stainless steel appliances, deep dusting (including accessible ceiling fans and blinds which will be maintained on a rotating basis), vacuuming and mopping, cleaning and polishing countertops, mirrors, and sinks, deep cleaning bathrooms, wipe down of laundry room, emptying wastebaskets, and cleaning baseboards as needed. All cleaning supplies and equipment are provided unless there is a special product that has to be used in your home. Even my most picky customers are satisfied with the level of cleanliness I obtain.

Customer Testimonials

"We have been fortunate to have Krysta assist us weekly with keeping our home clean and presentable. She is reliable, consistent, and detailed in her work. Her presence is professional and friendly, never intrusive. She has demonstrated an awareness of what needs special attention and gets it done. The service Krysta provides for our family has freed up time in our busy schedules having a positive impact on our family."

- Doug and Karma Howell, clients since October 2012


"I have been friends with Krysta for over 10 years, because of this I was very hesitant to engage in a business relationship. I'm normally very particular about the people I have in my home and the level of service I receive, but with Krysta I have never had to compromise on either. My home is always spotless and above my expectations when it comes to her service. I greatly recommend Krysta to anyone looking for or considering a cleaning service."

- Christina Cipolla, client from May 2013-October 2013


"We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon Krysta when we did. I always wanted to hire someone to help, but never knew what to expect. Now that we have Krysta, if I ever have to find another housekeeper, I hope they will know they have some big shoes to fill! My husband and I call every other Wednesday "Krysta Eve" which makes very other Thursday "Krysta Day" a.k.a. the best day ever. I have seen her clean things that I didn't even know could or should be cleaned! (Seriously, did you know some stove tops lift up like a car hood so you can clean underneath? Yeah, me neither.) That is just one of many examples of how Krysta goes above and beyond. She is prompt, reliable, meticulous, and on top of all that and so much more, she is sweet as can be. I have actually referred to her as my little cleaning angel. Anyone would be lucky to have her work her magic in their home."

- Amie Ice, client from June 2013 - March 2020

"Krysta is very reliable and trustworthy. She always completes additional tasks that were asked of her. She has gone out of her way on several occasions to try new products on my floor and countertops. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends."

- Kristin Flora, client from July 2013 - 2017

"Krysta and Dee show attention to detail, professionalism, and pride in their work. They are my dream come true! After they clean, my house feels so clean and put together. The time they spend has helped me be a better mom and wife and has made my life easier and better. I feel like I have an assistant now, one who cares as much as I do! They have improved the quality of our lives."

- Sandra Boos, client from July 2013 - February 2014


"There is no better feeling than living in a clean home! With my business taking off rapidly and my husband finishing school, I found that our home was getting neglected. I had hired a previous company that I was severely disappointed with, so Krysta was by far a breath of fresh air! Her cleaning methods are precise and target tough spots. Her knowledge of products that work effectively is great! Although she uses commercial products (not "all natural") my home does not seem fumy. I feel her techniques and products are safe with a toddler, pregnant mama, and soon to be newborn in the house. I trust her wholeheartedly and I have no question that she will be honest in all she does and will not abuse my trust in any way.

 Some of our favorite outcomes from her cleanings are the cleanliness of the tiled surfaces through out our home such as kitchen counters and bathroom showers. Most recently, she spent extra hours scrubbing the grime out of our kitchen floor grout using the traditional "elbow grease" method. I never thought it could make such a difference. She often cleans surfaces that I hadn't noticed were dirty until they were cleaned, like doors and walls. When she has extra time, she does a few extra things around the house, which is an added perk. I highly recommend her for bi-weekly cleanings, because it helps to keep the home clean and organized all the time."

-Leslie McOmber, client from March 2014 - June 2021

                   
"Krysta assisted in cleaning our home for a period of time when I became a new mommy. I really do not know if I could have done it without her. I was 8 months pregnant and couldn't bend over to pick up a sock! She came highly recommended by a mutual acquaintance and I cannot thank her enough.

What I love about Krysta is her professionalism, trustworthiness, and ability to communicate. We have had housekeepers in the past that posed these characteristics in the beginning and did not follow through. This is not true is Krysta's case. Her work is very thorough and detailed. I loved coming home to a clean house, knowing and trusting it had been handled with care. I can attest that her previous references held true to their words and I am now speaking on behalf of her outstanding work. Thank you, Krysta!"

- Valerie Shamoon, client from February 2014 - August 2014

"When I decided to go back to work full time we knew some things were going to have to be less tended to, but thankfully our house was taken care of with Krysta as our housekeeper. She was detailed, organized, and went above and beyond what a normal housekeeper would do. She even helped us rearrange and organize our two young girls' bedrooms. If you need a trusted, detailed housekeeper, I would recommend Krysta!"

- Keeta Duke, client from April 2014 - July 2014


"Prior to hiring Krysta, I tried another local cleaning company. They used "non-chemicals" to "clean" my home; however, my home felt dirtier after they came than it was before! After using them twice, I was discouraged and apprehensive to hire someone else. After Krysta was recommended by multiple people, I decided to give her a try. Now I can't imagine having anyone else clean my home. My home feels CLEAN after she comes and I can say that "cleaning day" is my favorite day of the week. She has incredibly high standards and doesn't rest until my home reaches those standards. She is flexible and thorough. I have recommended her on countless occasions. You will not be disappointed in the fabulous results!"

- Michelle Carter, client from April 2014 - March 2017

"Today I had the pleasure of having Krysta come and clean my home. She was punctual, professional, and did a spectacular job. My house is sparkling. I wanted to have someone that would be reliable, that had good communication skills, and that could really deep clean my home before an event I'm having this weekend. I also have a baby on the way and I really can't get down and do a deep clean right now at 8 months pregnant. I'm happy to report that even if I went into labor tonight, I'd feel so good knowing that my home is clean, clean, CLEAN!!! Krysta detailed my kitchen and bathrooms, she dusted, vacuumed, polished furniture, and just left my house immaculate. I would highly recommend Cleaning by Krysta!"

- Ashley DeWitt, one-time deep clean September 2014


"Krysta has been cleaning my house as a gift from my parents to help alleviate the stress of maintaining my home after having a third child. I could not have asked for a better gift. She sends a reminder text the night before, comes exactly when she said she would, and brings her own supplies. She works quietly and hard. She always goes the extra mile and offers to do special projects for me. I appreciate her and value her far more than I pay her."

- Brittany Dockstader, client from September 2014 - March 2017

I love it when Krysta comes to clean! She is reliable and pleasant. The house always smells so clean and she gets all the nooks and crannies I tend to overlook.

- Kasey Boone, client since 2017

We love seeing Krysta every two weeks. She always arrives put together and very professional. I've never seen a housekeeper always look so cute! She always does what we ask and does extra when she has time! She has been reliable and we know we can always count on her!

-Pamela Tipton, client since 2016

Former Employers

"Krysta worked in our home for approximately one year. During that time her responsibilities included various housekeeping assignments. She is completely honest and trustworthy. Her demeanor was always pleasant and positive. She accepted assignments willingly without complaint. If she saw a task that needed to be done, she would ask if we'd like it done, or do it herself.  She came to us with strong recommendations and we are happy to add to those."

- Joan Eaton, prior employer May 2011 - April 2012


"I own a small housekeeping business and I have been cleaning homes in the Fresno/Clovis area for 13 years. The majority of my clients have been with me for that long. I have known Krysta for almost a year and she has been helping me clean the homes of two of my long-time clients. I find her to be genuinely honest in all her dealings, and to be conscientious in her work habits, as well as dependable and reliable in performing her duties. She is a mother to two sweet little girls, and a friend. I would give Krysta a very good recommendation for any position she is applying for."

Dee's Recommendations

"Dee cleans my house once a week and I could not be happier. She is very reliable, works with my schedule and family. I have had housekeepers in the past that won't come if I'm home. With four kids, there will be times I can't leave the house or have to come home before she is done and she works around us. I am very happy with the quality of work. I would recommend Dee to anyone with housekeeping needs."

- Dalila Dockstader, weekly client from September 2013-July 2014

"Dee was my housekeeper for several months and we loved having her around. She was very professional and easy to get along with and did a great job. She was always willing to go out of her way to help and even came to clean one morning at 5 a.m. so that my house would be ready to show to a potential buyer. She always went above and beyond. Dee is no longer cleaning for us as a result of our move, otherwise she would still be with us."

- Shawna Rhoades, weekly client from November 2013-March 2014

"Krysta and Dee show attention to detail, professionalism, and pride in their work. They are my dream come true! After they clean, my house feels so clean and put together. The time they spend has helped me be a better mom and wife and has made my life easier and better. I feel like I have an assistant now, one who cares as much as I do! They have improved the quality of our lives."

- Sandra Boos, bi-weekly client from July 2013-February 2014


"Krysta and her mom are a perfect pair! Everything looked AMAZING!!! I was so pleasantly surprised by the shower... it's cleaner than it's ever been. Thanks again for all the work you put in. I'm so grateful I found you!"

- Leslie McOmber, one-time assistance in March 2014

"I needed help getting my house back to square one and Dee was great at identifying the needed areas. She has helped motivate me to maintain my cleaning and is a delight to have in our house. I feel like I have a friend over! She is diligent in her work and the house looks and feels great after she's done."

Kayndi Siipola

"My name is Kayndi and I'm a single mother of two kids, Chace- age 8, and Grayce- age 6. I am a strong follower of Christ and I try to be a good role model for my children. My kids are priority and being there for them is so important to me. This is why I appreciate the opportunity to have a job that provides the flexibility I need to provide for my family while still having quality time to raise my children. I also have a small kombucha business that I operate from home.

I have cleaning experience and love being able to come into a home and make it beautiful! The smile it brings to clients is so gratifying to me. I pay attention to detail and I am open to communication, so you can feel free to discuss your priorities and preferences with me. I respect the fact that you know your home well and I don't mind being told what areas need more attention. I promise to always give you my best."

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.

Before and After

Grout Cleaning

It's amazing what you can do with some Mr. Clean, a magic eraser, or a two dollar grout brush, and some good old fashioned scrubbing. I have had some impressive results cleaning grout, although individual results will vary based on condition, color, and type of grout.

Bathtubs

Bathtubs can be notoriously grimy, but I have some tricks up my sleeve to restore them to their original beauty.

Kitchen Sink

Blinds

Shower Door Transformations

Do you squeegee your shower doors after every shower yet your shower doors still look cloudy or uneven? Chances are soap scum has build up on your doors. As daunting as soap scum seems, I have discovered a very simple method of removing it. Dry Barkeepers Friend on an ever-so-slightly damp cloth. Rub it on the glass and be amazed. The results... well, these before and after photos speak for themselves.

Stove Top Deep Clean

Who would have known simple oven cleaner can remove all that burned on grease without harming or scratching your stove in any way?

Window Track Cleaning

One of the most neglected parts of your home could be your window tracks. Take a look and you may see dead bugs, lots of dirt and dust, and perhaps even mold. I can take care of these unsightly areas for you.
