Today we’d like to introduce you to Madison Marchand.
Hi Madison, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Maddy’s Maids started with just myself, Maddy. As a young mom of two, my husband encouraged me to pursue my business in 2019 after a year of cleaning residential homes part-time. Cleaning is a very physical job and I had to learn how to time-manage my work. My husband was working for the Pittsburgh film unition IASTE 5-6 days a week/8-14hrs per day. There are not many job titles that allow moms to work around the 6hrs school day and this was the perfect solution to make money for myself and support my family. I quickly came to the realization that this position would not last long alone. Maddy’s Maids was launched in 2019, this being our 7th year in business. I was one of those rare cases that survived Covid-times. Instead of being couped up without a job, the experience was the complete opposite. I was out helping families manage their homes 5-6 days per week with a mask and gloves on while parents, grandparents, children, and childcare where actively in their homes, doing their best to make it work. “It” being the everyday flow of life that was simply not normal. I am blessed and grateful to my community for hiring me/my company as I grew my business into what it is today. 2020 changed my life. It gave me a purpose to keep this dream opportunity alive while being able to provide services to our residents and jobs to moms with flexible schedules. I am thankful we made it to the other side and continue to thrive in 2026.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Building a business is not for the weak. It is only meant for the resilient, patient, and dedicated. Small business owners are truly not recognized for the work they put in. They wear all the hats and can be described as every job title at the end of the day – Scheduler, manager, accountant, HR, content creator, advertiser… the list is endless. The light at the end of the tunnel is seeing your work be recognized for its consistency, quality, and overall good standings within the community. The road for small business is a never ending one. We take pride in the fact that we keep refueling and keep pushing forward.
As you know, we’re big fans of Maddy’s Maids. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Maddy’s Maids provides customized cleanings to residential homes and small businesses. We consider your wants, needs, and budget. Our services include surface cleans (maintenance cleans), deep cleans, move in/out cleans, post-construction, small business, and more. Our ‘bread and butter’ is our surface cleans.

We provide all tools/supplies and use specifically curated solutions to sanitize without the use of heavy chemicals. Maddy’s Maids also provides a discounted rate for seniors, veterans, and disabled community members.

Yes – It is astounding that the company survived and thrived during Covid-times. I consider it to be the launching pad to our success. The opportunity it has provided is indescribable.
