Please note that we will be meeting at St. Andrew's this month - there had been some early indications that we might be meeting at the Union Project instead, but we will be at our standard location after all.

[Highland Park] 2 residential /commercial cleaning openings left
by Francine937＠aol.com 17 Oct '11

Hello Members, I gained some new clients in Highland Park. Wonderful people thus far. I am looking forward to gaining 2 more clients. I do businesses as well. I have wonderful references and I believe in time the people I began cleaning for recently will be my references as well. Unfortunately there are so many people out here who advertise for cleaning, but do not know what it takes to clean a home or business well. I started cleaning with my mother at the young age of 10 for extra money, I take a lot of pride and integrity in what I do. I am a single mother of 4 children and I work very hard. I am reliable and reasonably price, but not cheap. I do a wonderful job. I look forward to working with a few new people. Please if you are looking for someone who is great at what they do and takes cleaning very seriously consider me for cleaning your home or business. You will not be disappointed. I am fully insured and again I have business references. I look forward to great responses. Francine Moschella/Owner 412-969-6836
