Hi, I'm Billie-Jo Ainsworth — proud founder and owner of Joy of Cleaning. I’m a lifelong New Hampshire native, born in Dover and now living in Milton. As a single mother to three wonderful sons, four playful cats, and an energetic Aussie Doodle puppy, I know firsthand how busy and chaotic life can get. That’s why I created a business that gives people the one thing we never seem to have enough of: time.
I launched my cleaning business in 2017, naming it in honor of my late mother, Linda Joy, who passed away in 2022 after battling dementia. My mother was the heart and soul behind everything I value—kindness, respect, and taking pride in everything you do. She taught me from a young age the importance of caring for others and the impact a clean, orderly home can have on your mood, mindset, and overall well-being.
She believed that a tidy space reflected self-respect and brought peace to your day, and she lived that truth every moment. Her grace, strength, and pristine sense of order live on in every home I touch. Building this business is not just my career—it’s my tribute to her, and a continuation of her legacy.
At Joy of Cleaning, I treat every home like my own—with attention to detail, deep care, and the utmost respect. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your personal space, and I don’t take that lightly. I aim to make your life easier by creating a clean, refreshing environment where you can focus on what matters most: your family, your peace, and your time.
Whether you’re a busy parent, a professional juggling work and home, or someone who just needs a break from the never-ending task of cleaning—I'm here to help. When you hire Joy of Cleaning, you're not just getting a cleaning lady. You're gaining someone who genuinely cares, who shows up with integrity, and who believes that every corner of your home deserves to shine.
As my mom always said, “Make your time worth every moment.”
Let me give you that gift—by giving you more of your moments back.
— Billie-Jo Ainsworth
