We had the good fortune of connecting with Kay Tiennat and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kay, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
Starting any type of business from the ground up requires a lot of crucial decisions in addition to lots of hard work. If I had to say one decision, I made that was crucial to my success it’s when I shifted my mindset for success & started thinking like a business Entrepreneur, I was no longer someone’s employee, I was now a Boss!! I could no longer entertain the things that weren’t going to allow myself or my business to grow. I had to surround myself around like-minded people.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others? Growing up for as long as I can remember cleaning has always been therapeutic for me it’s something that I love and enjoy doing. Throughout my years in the customer service & cleaning industry one thing I learned was customers will pay for great service if you treat your customers right they will always come back & refer you. Merry Kay Cleaning Service L.L.C located In Cooper City is not your average cleaning company. We pride ourselves on treating our clients like family whether we’re cleaning your home or business. We care for it as if it was our own. We provided affordable reliable commercial, Airbnb & residential cleaning. Building a company that not only focuses on providing excellent service but learning & catering to each client’s specific needs & budget can be challenging at times, but it also has been an exciting journey seeing the smiles on my client’s faces after each service. This truly has been the most rewarding part of it all. I’m also a licensed esthetician so I can clean your home & do your nails & waxing literally a one stop shop.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Welcome to Miami!!!! A few places my friends & I like to go to when they visit are Blue Martini in Fort Lauderdale. It’s a great place to unwind, have some good food & cocktails & listen to some great music, they even have reggae Sundays. A great brunch spot where the food is delicious and to die for if you’re looking for that southern flare is just spoons in plantation Florida, they have the most amazing catfish and grits a must try!! let’s not forget our beautiful weather & beaches where they have so many nice bars and restaurants. If you’re looking for more of a nightclub feel, the velvet lounge, sandbar, Mynt Lounge, Liv just to name a few are all great places. Wherever you decide to take your friends they will have a blast Miami is a whole vibe in itself!!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

I want to give a special shout out to my daughters (Kiya & Paris) for being my reasons to go hard every day my sister (Shay)bestie (Porcha) my friend (Tara) and my aunt (Bridgette) without them there would be no Merry Kay Cleaning Service Thank y’all for always pushing me to keep going.
