Meet Our Owner And Chief Sparkle Officer

Lynn Thoele

Homemade cookies will always taste better than store bought. A warm puppy will always melt your heart. Coming home to a clean house that smells fantastic will always put a smile on your face and a spring in your step!

I feel like the luckiest person in the world! After years of working in sales & marketing, I did something I knew nothing about and opened up a cleaning service! One thing I did know is that I wanted to make a difference and have a business where I could be of service to other people. After some trial and error, I got it figured out and I have a fantastic team behind me running everything like a fine Swiss watch! Our work won’t cure cancer or bring about world peace but we perform a vital service for people who don’t have the time, the desire or sometimes the ability to do it themselves. 

My Sparklers are hard-working, fun-loving people of integrity who will treat your home with care and respect. No Debbie downers here…my Sparklers are upbeat & positive because they love what they do. We aren’t a discount service because my cleaners work hard and deserve to be paid well. But don’t worry, we won’t break the bank, either!

Last but not least, we are fully licensed, bonded & insured. My high-quality Sparklers go through an extensive hiring process including comprehensive criminal background checks & they must agree to random drug testing.

If you’d like a free, no-obligation phone consultation to get pricing, call or email and we’ll set that up in a jiffy!

Chelsea - Sparkler & Office Manager
Office Manager

Chelsea

I joined the Sparkle team in November 2019 after almost 10 years of managing Veterinary clinics. I have two children; Addison (9) and Garrison (7). I share my house with my children, my husband Adam, our Boxer/Border Collie mix Zoey, our English Springer Spaniel Lincoln and our tabby cat Pete. In my spare time, I love to run and am looking to sign up for another marathon soon.  I also love to read, hang out with friends, and clean! I joined this team because I remember how happy I felt when I would come home to a clean house! It has been a pleasure getting to know you all over the years and I can't wait to keep building relationships with all of you.

Sarah - Field Manager
Field Manager

Sarah

Hello there! My name is Sarah, or Captain Sailer to some, and I joined the Sparkle team in 2020, after my husband (Dillon) and I relocated from North Dakota during the height of the pandemic in search of a place we felt like we belonged. Boy, did we find that not only in the Twin Cities metro, but also in our new careers. I started my journey with the Sparkle team as a sparkler and trainer! After a small hiatus early this year, I am back in action and ready to set sail on the SS Sparkle Plenty in my new role!

We purchased our first home in Minneapolis proper last summer and share our space with our best friend (Joe) and two cat children, Marley (6) and Boris (4).

I have been spending most of my days working on interior decorating projects and gardening, but when I have free moments, I love to read anything and everything, go to the gym, work on art projects, create new vegan recipes, go thrifting and estate saling, attend concerts, discover new restaurants and breweries, traveling and attending conventions like Comic Con, and spend time with the people I love... People are my passion!

I am so excited to Sparkle for and connect with all of you!

Rita
Sparkler

Rita

Hi there …my name is Rita! When the company who bought the property management company I worked for, decided to eliminate my Sr Admin position, I was far more relieved than stressed. I had been needing a change, and now I was forced to reassess and act on that.
 
I felt a tremendous need for more autonomy, the need to be free of tethers, and any type of corporate environment. I am happiest when I am physically and creatively busy, thrive on challenge …always known for an uncanny ability to create sense and order out of chaos …and most passionate, about serving my fellow man. 
 
My background includes …and my “retirement” years will include, FT ministry of some kind …but until then, housecleaning is truly a ministry all its own. Creating fresh, clean spaces for busy people, along with the personal connections, provides me an opportunity to make a very real and vital difference in the lives of my clients (and their pets!), and I find deeply satisfying. Actually …if you think about it …we are really in the business of “changing the atmosphere” in very positive ways!
 
Sparkle Plenty owner Lynn, and the management team, work seamlessly with the Sparkle “family”…and the spirit of excellence at every level is both what led me to them …and will serve only to continue to cause us to flourish individually …as well as, as a Team …so happy to be here!

Finn

Hi! My name is Finn, I am a fierce hunter, except my human doesn’t like me catching birds and squirrels so she dresses me in a silly outfit, but I show her! I make sure to knock everything off her desk and lay on the keyboard so she can’t get any work done! 

Sparkler - Boo & Earl
Cats

Boo & Earl

Hello! We are Earl and Boo! We love to hang out in the office and try not to cause as much trouble as Finn, but sometimes we just can’t help ourselves and take over a desk to get the humans to pay attention to us!

Hello, my name is Pumpkin. I make sure to keep all the cats and pugs in line around here. I may be the smallest, but I am in charge! I love to lie in my bed on the file cabinet or under a warm lamp. I let my humans work, but whenever they take a break I am always up for some snuggles.

Pumpkin crossed the rainbow bridge in 2021. She will forever be Head Cat in Charge and is missed everyday.
