Company Bios

Owner

MaRiahh Walker-Hodgkinson began working in the family business in 2016. She began as the Supply &
Inventory Manager and worked her way up the ladder of responsibility to full ownership. In 2021, she
purchased the company from her mother Mary Jo.

Having experienced the company from both the cleaner and management sides, MaRiahh has a deep
appreciation for the people who make Maidbrite what it is. She knows that exceptional customer service,
and taking exceptional care of her staff go hand in hand. While she continues many of the time tested
practices that have kept Maidbrite successful since 1988, she has also focused on continuing to evolve
the company, improve employee benefits and opportunities, optimize the Maidbrite cleaning system, and
maintain the amazing personal relationships that set a small family owned business apart from larger
corporations.

Outside of Maidbrite, MaRiahh is a wife, and a mother of 3, although she has never kept motherhood
completely separate from the business! Her oldest son Wolfgang, born in December 2023, accompanied
her into the office from infancy until the arrival of her twins in August 2025. Once the twins were born, she
took a year long maternity leave. She is now back full time (without the kiddos this time!)

She is also passionate about individual self expression, and the arts. She believes people should be
encouraged to be exactly who they are, and celebrated for their individual strengths. This is a philosophy
she brings into both her personal relationships, and the Maidbrite culture.

QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGER
Rosa Vernon joined Maidbrite in 1998 as a house cleaner and has been an important part of the Maidbrite family ever since. With over 25 years of experience with the company, Rosa has worked in nearly every available position and has played an invaluable role in shaping the standards we continue to uphold today.

After around a decade of Staff Management, Rosa transitioned into the role of Quality Assurance Manager in January 2025. Today, she works directly alongside our cleaners in clients’ homes, providing hands-on training, support, and quality checks to ensure every home is cleaned to the Maidbrite Standard. Her decades of experience make her an incredible resource for both our newer employees and long term staff. She is also regularly communicating with clients to understand where improvements can be made. There are very few cleaning challenges Rosa hasn’t encountered before!

Rosa brings experience, humor, compassion, and warmth to everything she does. Her dedication to the staff and clients is a huge part of what has made her such a beloved member of our team.

Outside of Maidbrite, Rosa has a love for singing and an impressive background of her own. She has entertained troops at military bases throughout Europe and South Korea, and was even invited to sing at President George Bush’s inauguration! You can still find Rosa performing for friends, loved ones, and community gatherings whenever she gets the chance.

OPERATIONS & HR MANAGER
Jesse Mooney joined the Maidbrite team in June 2026 as a residential cleaner and quickly stood out for her competency, dedication,reliability, customer service, and communication style. It didn’t take long for us to recognize her strengths extend far beyond being a great cleaner. Within just a few months, Jesse was promoted to an office assistant and is currently on a fast track to become the new Operations & HR
Manager.

In her current role, Jesse oversees the day to day operations of the office while supporting and managing the staff. Her experience of working in clients homes gives her a valuable perspective; she understands both what our clients expect, and what our cleaners need to be successful. Jesse brings a calm, capable presence to the office, along with excellent customer service skills, and the kind of initiative that made her a natural choice for the role.

Jesse’s management-minded nature extends beyond Maidbrite as well. Outside of work, she helps her wife with the operation of her tattoo shop, giving her additional experience with the many moving pieces that come with running a business! At home, Jesse and her wife are also proud cat moms to 4 cats!

Although Jesse is one of the newer members of the Maidbrite family, she has already made quite an impression on us all and we are incredibly excited to see her grow with the company!

THE MAIDBRITE STAFF
We choose our employees with the same care you take when choosing a company to welcome into your home. The Maidbrite staff is personable, professional, trustworthy and dedicated to exceptional service.

Our hiring process is thorough, including 2 interviews, prior employment verification, drug screening, and background checks. Once hired, every new employee completes an extensive hands-on training program before working independently. New team members train alongside experienced Maidbrite staff, learning
our Maidbrite cleaning system, quality standards, customer service expectations, and the skills necessaryto provide the consistent service our clients have come to expect.

Our commitment to our employees extends far beyond their initial training period. We continuously invest in their professional development. Employees are encouraged to grow their skills, take on more responsibility, and advance into leadership positions within the company. Our entire management team is
comprised of staff members who started out as cleaners!

We are especially proud of the longevity of our team. While we continue to welcome new faces into the Maidbrite family, several of our employees have been with us for many years (even decades!) That experience, loyalty, and familiarity allows us to provide something increasingly rare: a cleaning company
where both the customers and the people caring for their homes truly stick around!
