Being a Disabled Business Owner is not for the faint of heart.

I live with two kinds of arthritis in 90% of my joints. I’ve lost mobility in my wrist. I manage POTS, working to prevent syncopal episodes while navigating an irregular heart rate and blood pressure every day. I battle Fibromyalgia and the constant pain it brings to my muscles and skin.

Then, there is the fatigue. The pure exhaustion.

Some days, I quietly cry while I’m cleaning because it hurts so badly. But I don’t let the pain stop me. I don’t let it control me. I work with it… not just because I have to, but because I truly want to.

Cleaning is my passion, and it’s everything I ever wanted to accomplish packaged into one industry.

I never expected to fall in love with creating safe, clean spaces. What started as a side hustle has become a mission to set a new standard in our industry. Most importantly, it saved me from giving up.

Six years ago, I was on the verge of losing hope. My family was struggling and my spouse was unhappy in his career. When he started cleaning alongside me, we realized this was the path we were meant to take. This business quite literally saved me from the depression that followed my diagnosis and inability to function the way I wanted.

My reality includes periods where I have to step back or even remain bedridden. That will always be part of my journey, now and in the future. But I refuse to let it take over my life, my career, or my goals. So I keep pushing… even through the tears, even through the rest days. My heart is in this, and it won't let me stop.

To our clients: Thank you for your patience. For the times we haven't been as reliable as we’d like, for the times we had to say “not today”, thank you for understanding that we are two people in a unique situation, and we work so hard. Some days, we just have to step away so that we can continue tomorrow. You all truly make our world turn and we are grateful that you continue to support our vision.

This is what 14 1/2 hours of detail cleaning looks like. 29 man hours spent between 2 people. An 11pm finish. The transformation was incredible and we are so proud of the work we did, but long, hard cleans like this will put you out of commission for a few days. Needless to say, we are aching a lot today and don’t feel very well, especially me with my disabilities. But that doesn’t erase the fulfillment of giving this space its life back. ♥️

The Mental Load of a Personalized Cleaning Service

There are so many unspoken layers that go into a professional cleaning service, and each one is equally important to the final result.

When we step into your home, we aren’t just following a generic checklist. We are running a mental program specifically tailored to you. Beyond the scrubbing and dusting, there’s a constant tally of the unique details that make your house feel like home:

The client who prefers certain doors stayed closed (or open).

The specific way a bathroom is staged.

The exact "home" for those random items that don't have a place.

The "no-go" list for specific products or fragrances.

Thinking about the next job, the next task.

That one extra task we do just because we know it makes your week easier.

It’s managing expectations, staying on track, making sure the timing is right to stick to the schedule.

It is a deeply personalized service from one human to another. Balancing the physical labor with the mental energy it takes to keep those details straight is a marathon of its own.

We are so happy to take on that mental load to ensure your sanctuary is exactly the way you like it. It’s a duty we take to heart for everyone who trusts us with their space, even if it means we’re a little more mentally tired by the end of the day. ✨

🎶 I dare you to move, I dare you to move, I dare you lift yourself up off the floor 🎶

We get it. Cleaning is exhausting. It’s back breaking, duster dropping, "I'm just going to lay here until 2027" kind of work. When you've reached the "face down on the floor" stage of your housework, it’s time to call in the professionals.

Birdie’s Nest Cleaning Co… Because you deserve to lift yourself off the floor and onto the couch instead.

Why are move-out cleans so much more expensive than a regular clean? I’ll tell you!

We are trying to get rid of every trace of your presence in that home. You, your pets, your children. Everything. It needs to seem like no one ever lived there, and that not only takes a lot of energy and endurance, it takes time to get it right.

Have you ever moved into a rental or bought a home and it didn’t feel clean? There was still remnants of the previous inhabitants? We sure have, several times. We have ended up having to fully clean a home that we are moving into, when that should have already been taken care of.

We aren’t the only ones experiencing this, we have plenty of folks who have called us and said “the landlord said it was cleaned, but it doesn’t feel like it”. That should be the last thing you’re worried about on top of the stressful undertaking moving is to begin with.

But if we want those moving cleans to truly feel like no one else was there, the clean itself has to be immaculate. That does come with a cost, but it’s investment in saving you a future hassle.
