residential cleaning.

Molly Maid of Bermuda is operated by Christine Lunn with a staff of three. But Ms Lunn said she plans to hire a fourth staff member this week, and expects to hire more as the year progresses.

That, she said, is as a result of the growing number of clients she is getting. "With more women entering the market place, there has been an increasing need for our services.'' The one-time nanny/housekeeper said, " My husband and I know the challenges working families face in this area. I saw the struggles first-hand, working families face balancing duties at home and work, most notable, house cleaning.

That is why I was interested in Molly Maid. I had always wanted to open my own business and felt Molly Maid was the way to go.

"I wanted to offer a service that would be in demand by Bermuda area consumers. A professionally-managed domestic cleaning company is a perfect match for this area because of the increasing number of professionals and two-career families who just don't have time anymore for incidentals such as domestic chores.'' The company offers free home estimates to those interested in a thorough, professional cleaning of their home.
