Mindi Schnur

My primary work was a wife, mother, home manager and homeschool teacher of three. As my children got older i was able to work outside the home and provide more income and financial stability to the home. I took a job at the bowling alley, which allowed me to learn many skills. I quickly excelled and was left to run the building on my own. Customer service, accurate cash counting, preparing bank deposits, opening and closing the business, and general facility maintenance were just a few of the skills I acquired in a short time. As I enjoyed the public interactions and job challenges, I knew I needed to further my career goals and move to another employment opportunity as i found myself having a sole parental responsibility of my three children.

From there I found a great need for house keepers in the Mount Vernon area. I built a business based on this need and it excelled so much that i was able to employ 2 other people. As the owner of a cleaning company it was my responsibility to manage and operate the business. This included overseeing all aspects of the business including marketing, book keeping, customer acquisition, hiring, training and managing employees, securing new clients, scheduling and coordinating cleaning services, maintaining the purchasing of cleaning supplies and equipment and ensuring high-quality results.

I am applying for this position to insure stability for my family. I have lived in and have loved our small community of Mount Vernon for most of my life and it is my hope that my contribution will impact the residents of this community in a positive way and make my family proud.
