BBW MEMBER INTERVIEW WITH: Cintia Leone, Managing owner of House Bliss Cleaning
What is your name and occupation?
Cintia Leone, Managing owner of House Bliss Cleaning
What is your instagram handle?
@houseblisscleaning
How long have you been a Boston Business Women’s Member?
2 years
Were you born and raised in Boston? If not, what brought you here?
I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. Like every other teen I loved listening to American music, TV, and Movies, which I'd say was the big influence in how I projected myself as an adult. My favorite hobby was journaling and making collages with images I would cut from magazines. I guess I started to manifest my goals before I knew anything about vision boards or The Law of Attraction. I envisioned myself living the land of opportunities. I guess, like any immigrants what brought me here was ``The American Dream.``
Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I'm the founder of House Bliss Cleaning, a green-cleaning company in Boston. My mother has been a house cleaner for many years. As my mom aged she began to feel a change in her immune system and symptoms like breathing problems, skin rashes, and headaches. Imagine what happens to your body when you're in contact with toxins cleaning products during a 40-hour work week. I created this company because her employer refused to listen to her concerns about using chemical cleaners.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
Our goal is to offer customers the best experience from the time we say “hello``. We take pride in what we do and that shows in the reviews we've received from our clients. We are not perfect, in fact, we encourage our clients to provide honest feedback after each cleaning service they received. If something wasn't done to their satisfaction, we will offer to re-clean at no extra cost, and the team will be trained to improve the service overall in the future. We use feedback in a positive way and always treat our employees with much-deserved respect.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Best advice - Love what you do and do it with pride, regardless of what that is.
What is your favorite book?
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho<br />
What is your secret weapon? An app, a tool, a organization method, anything?! (Can be a personal or professional life tool)
I have to make my bed when I get up. Sets the tone of the rest of my day to ``get things done``.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
I would tell my younger self to not give too many F$%ks about what ``they may say/think`` about me.
How do you spend your free time?
Good chat with friends, coffee, yoga, a walk, or just time with my family.
What is something that not many people know about you?
Let's keep it a mystery! haha
