Who We Are

Our story is about resilience, growth, and never giving up. Founded by immigrant entrepreneur Alina Lapteva, who arrived in Canada as a teenager with only ambition and hard work, YLC is now approaching 40 team members across Ontario and Alberta.

Our team is the heart of YLC. Made up of hardworking, well-trained, and reliable people from around the world, we take pride in supporting each other, growing together, and delivering excellent service with care.

We believe that quality should be managed, not guessed. Our standards include clear instructions, protocols, checklists, before-and-after photos, virtual quality control as well as frequent visits by quality control specialists, supervisor communication, accountability, and follow-up.

YLC is solely woman-owned and led by Alina Lapteva, an immigrant entrepreneur known for discipline, courage, and vision. A former speed skater, honours graduate, and entrepreneur for nearly two decades, Alina has built experience across fitness, catering, coffee, property management, and service industries. Today, her focus is building YLC into a trusted, excellence-driven company that creates opportunity, supports diversity, and helps people grow.

Diversity is part of YLC’s identity. Our team brings together people from different countries, cultures, and life experiences, creating a workplace built on respect, support, and equal opportunity. Our diverse team reflects the communities and clients we serve, helping us communicate, adapt, and serve with care across every property and partnership.
