Teresa Ward - President and Founder of Teresa's Family Cleaning

Teresa Ward

President & Founder

A native Long Islander, Teresa grew up running a successful family business. In 1993, she founded Teresa's Family Cleaning from her own basement and garage, building it into one of Long Island's premier cleaning companies.

Teresa is an active participant in more than 25 business, civic, and charitable organizations. She is the Vice-President of the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI), and is highly sought after as a public speaker, sharing successful business techniques with other local business people.

After losing her own sister, Virginia, to cancer, Teresa committed her heart and her business to helping women who are overwhelmed with the pain and stress of cancer treatment. She founded Cleaning Angels USA to meet the overwhelming need for cleaning services for anyone recently diagnosed with a critical illness.

A Family That Cleans Together

Teresa's Family Cleaning is a family-operated, non-franchised company. We treat our employees like family — offering medical benefits, paid holidays, and paid vacation. That's why we have a low employee churn rate and a high referral rate.

Every employee is carefully screened with two personal references plus a past job reference. Our crews undergo extensive training through Teresa's custom video training program and are equipped with all the professional supplies and equipment needed.

Our team works in crews of two, with job supervisors performing regular spot-checks to ensure consistent quality. Employees are paid hourly wages — not commission — so they can focus on doing the best job possible in your home.
