When Kristine Anne Sumira, Heidilyn Cabanero, and Arabelle Adigue established Maid911, it was an observation of the trend of the booming construction industry, particularly with condominium developments. Taking advantage of that market, the three of them launched their business in November 2011 with the vision to offer professional cleaning services. As corporate working women, they empathize with those who juggle keeping a safe and clean home with their busy work schedules. They learned of their trade on their own, allowing them to have first-hand experience of what it means to run their business from the ground up and establish standards of cleaning from their own experiences and their staff’s experience. The growing demand for their service gave them the prospect to add more people – turning to poor communities and creating learning and hiring opportunities.
Fast forward to the present year, the eleven-year business they established grew to much more than their initial vision while keeping true to their core organizational values.
