Maybe it’s studying for a [ Read the rest…]

We recently received an email from a client about how her Housekeeper accidentally used furniture polish on her wood floors instead of floor cleaner. The floors looked shiny and new, but the household quickly found themselves slipping and sliding all over the place.

It’s important that you keep your eye on all of the children, of course. However, you can even go a step further and do more than just supervising them at the playground.   Get [ Read the rest…]

Denise received a letter earlier this week from Martin Kusiak:
 

Dear Denise,

I really appreciate what you have had done for me. You probably do not remember but after having a job with the REDACTED family through my personal contact, you hired me at the REDACTED residence during the fall/winter season. It was a very valuable time which helped me get some amazing experience. Thanks to you I was able to work for the REDACTED family!

All my career started at the Greenhouse. You believed in me/gave me a chance and I am where I am.

Thank you for everything!
