The maids are Angelita and Gloria, they understand
more English than they can speak. They are very friendly
and glad to help out. If you need to call either maid,
dial Gloria's home number direct #10196 from any of the
houses. Most houses include maid service twice weekly,
however you can make arrangements to have them come in
daily if needed. Tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
