I worked with this family for 3 years cleaning their home and as well as making weekly meals . I have done many cartering parties for this family as well. They were very kind and genuine they always paid me more especially when the guest gave them amazing Compliments about the food and desserts. There was a few times when I did cartering and they had their guests tip me if they enjoyed the meals.. I gathered a very trustworthy relationship and professional bond with Bessy and started to taken on more tasks for her. I did her Groceries and also did and started to help other family members of hers. She salways gave my name to other families and businesses and let them know I was amazing at making food and meals as well as desserts and I will also take on other task . I still do meals prep 2 days a week or when needed . Now that their family has grown each of the grandma's help out..So I'm not there as much.

Than I was hired by Christina and her husband Steve to clean and make weekly meals such as lunches and dinners and cleaned their home once whole home once a week but went 3 times a week to just tidy up and remove dust in seen places. My position ended because Christina got a job offer in another company hours away and they were moving in their Steve family.l
