Esmeralda had my floors sparkling like the New Year’s Eve ball in Times Square! She’s a breath of fresh air for sure and she is always prompt and punctual. It goes a long way!

Kelly gives great attention to all the surfaces in our home. She is mindful of the cats we have. She does small, extra things that we don’t even think to ask her to do.
