Our Team
Elise
- Born and Raised: I’ve grown up and still reside in Hudsonville, Michigan. I love the West Michigan community and the many things to do around here!
- Family: I enjoy spending time with my husband Tyler, hanging out with both our families/friends, and going to the gym!
- Pets: Tyler and I recently got a puppy named Rocko and we absolutely adore his crazy little self!
- Favorite Room to Clean: My favorite room to clean is the kitchen. I love seeing the shine and sparkle afterwards!
- Favorite Cleaning Product: My favorite product to use is Dawn because it is so versatile in what it can be used for.
- Favorite Thing About Working at Jags and Rags: My co-workers and the atmosphere that we have at Jags and Rags. I also enjoy helping our clients feel the satisfaction of having a clean home!
Isabel
- Born and Raised: I’m originally from Allendale but moved around a lot throughout my childhood all over the west side of Michigan and graduated from Greenville. Now, I’m back in Allendale!
- Family: I have an older sister with an eight year age gap between us and the sweetest three year old niece on the planet! Since my sister and I are the only kids, my family is very close and we bug each other daily 🙂
- Pets: I have two cats, Rylee and Finn (beans)! I’ve had Rylee since I was in elementary school and I swear he’s immortal at this point, and Finn knows how to fetch! They’re both long haired lover boys!
- Favorite Room to Clean: The bathroom! It’s one of the most used rooms in houses and a lot of grime builds up so it’s super satisfying to be able to make it feel almost new for our clients!
- Favorite Cleaning Product: Aside from Lysol, probably a duster! It gets into all of those hard to reach places high and low that you can’t usually get by hand, like behind beds and the corners of ceilings.
- Favorite Thing About Working at Jags and Rags: Knowing that all of us (employees) are respected and heard by Katie and Drake. If something isn’t working and we voice our concerns, they problem solve with us and respect our opinions! Also, just having such a tight knit group of coworkers. It’s great coming into work knowing we’ve all got each other’s backs!
