ABOUT US

It all started with Cecilia and Deana, partners in Gnome-ness. We founded Tidy Gnomes in 2012 in order to create support and community for people who could use a few magical helpers. We are a queer, women, and BIPOC-owned business that provides personalized, eco-friendly, and compassionate home care.

​

Raised in beautiful Ecuador, Cecilia grew up understanding the importance of community, support, and connection. After moving to the U.S., she was shocked by how many people felt they had to do it all alone. Founding Tidy Gnomes was not just about cleaning houses—it was about removing the shame of asking for help and highlighting the incredible value of domestic work. 

 

We believe that with love and kindness, for others and for ourselves, each of us can make a positive impact in our community and in our own lives. 

​

 We love our gnome family and treat each other with kindness and respect. Your support allows us the chance to offer a safe place of employment, in-depth training and fair wages. 

​

Some of the benefits that we offer: 

​

  • Regular pay raises.

  • Health insurance - including dental and vision insurance.

  • Paid Time off.

  • Retirement Savings account.

  • Paid holidays. 

  • Birthday pay bonus.

  • Work anniversary pay bonus.  

  • Mileage reimbursement.

  • Monthly massages. 

 

We were defending our happiness by creating Tidy Gnomes and hopefully in turn it will help you to defend yours. Our family of Gnomes is ready to support you in all the home-making arts, especially the one most often forgotten in our world of consumerism:
