“I feel glad that I like my job. Teri worked with me for just a short time and then I got the job with a local hotel. It is perfect for me. I take out the towels, sheets and trash from the rooms and the housekeepers do the rest. I am really a big help because I help out the others so they can get their job done sooner.”
Monica, Consumer
