The housekeeper’s file
Jennifer Burden cleans a house the way a hotel turns a room.
“House a mess? Let me help you with that!”
Jennifer, in her own words on Thumbtack
Jennifer spent many years as a stay-at-home “domestic engineer,” running a household start to finish. She lists her work at a national hotel chain and at a small local motel as her training, the kind of place where a room is not done until it is finished, checked and ready for whoever walks in next.
What she came out with is experience in all aspects of home care, and a real love of yardwork and landscaping. That is why the cart at Shimmer Sparkle n Shine carries tree trimming, junk removal and pressure washing right beside the vacuum and the mop.

Today she runs Shimmer Sparkle n Shine from Lake Isabella with a small team, serving homes, vacation rentals, move-outs and offices across Kern County and the surrounding areas. Everyone who comes into your home is thoroughly vetted, trained, and equipped with the latest cleaning technologies and eco-friendly products, and the business is fully insured.
Jennifer is background checked on Thumbtack, where customers have hired her 23 times. Some of them keep hiring her: one has had her in every couple of weeks for several years.

Room ready
No job is complete until the client is happy.
“Customer satisfaction is our number one priority. No job is complete until the client is happy, and we make sure of it.”
That is Jennifer’s standard for a family house, a rental cabin turned over between guests, a move-out, or a law office. It is also why prices and times stay flexible: the work gets done around you, and it gets done properly.
On every door
Four things hung on every job
These are the promises Shimmer Sparkle n Shine makes on its own website. Here they are as tags, the way a housekeeper would leave them.
