Jonie & Vanesa, Cleany Surrey
Some journeys show that real loyalty and quiet hard work can open doors you never imagined.
Vanesa Serrano-Martin's story with Cleany began more than 7 years ago in the Philippines, where she started as a Virtual Assistant.





Vanesa's story at a glance
Individual results vary and are not a guarantee of your own. See the Franchise Disclosure Document.
She quickly became much more than a VA: taking on far more than her role required, solving problems no one else saw, and putting her heart into every process. She became a manager, then one of the key people shaping Cleany's systems, operations, culture and growth from the very beginning. She helped build the foundation of what Cleany is today, long before she ever set foot in Canada.
Cleany's leadership saw her potential and offered her something life-changing: sponsorship through Canada's immigration program. Once in Canada, she didn't wait long. Once in Canada, her family took on their own franchise: Cleany Surrey, covering Surrey, South Surrey and White Rock.
Today Cleany Surrey delivers trusted, high-quality cleaning to local families and businesses, and has been among Cleany's top performers. She also helps grow Cleany's national network by sharing her experience and mentoring new owners.
Her story is a reminder that the Canadian dream isn't just about arriving. It's about what you build once you're here.
