9. RESIDENT ADS
HOUSEKEEPER/BABYSITTER AVAILABLE
My housekeeper, Rosa, who works for me one day a week, is seeking work as a housekeeper/babysitter for 4 days during the week (not live-in). For the past 5 years, Rosa has worked four days a week for a family in Venice who no longer need her services full time now that their children are attending school. Rosa drives her own late model car. Rosa is a skillful cleaner as she used to work as a housekeeper at the Montage in Beverly Hills. She is a responsible and reliable woman with a sweet disposition who is very kind and gentle-especially with children and pets.
I have known Rosa’s family for more than 23 years ( her mother worked for me 22 years until her retirement) and I can vouch for Rosa’s honesty and character. Interested parties should contact Rosa directly at 1-323 670 3400.
