You're IT DaSilva's Cleaning Service!
Three questions with Neti DaSilva, owner of DaSilva's Cleaning Service.
Why did you start your business?
I started my career as a day laborer to help my mother. She worked with a helper for a small house cleaning company. Suddenly, the helper left work and there was no one who could work with her the following week. I decided to help her until they got someone else and ultimately fell in love with the profession. After 2 years, the owner of the company was leaving the United States and at that moment, I found my opportunity to have my professional freedom and achieve the American dream by owning my own business. I’m a big believer in not letting a great opportunity pass!
