Housekeeper recommendation

[docorion.livejournal.com]

Several years ago, a poster on this forum recommended his housekeeper to the community. That worked out really well for me, and so today I thought I'd do likewise.

Solange Machado (781-645-0133 office, 857-888-4638 cell) has been cleaning my house for about a year (she took over when Zilah Santos, who had been doing the job, took some time off for personal and family reasons). I recommend her to anyone who requires the services of a housekeeper without reservation; she's outstanding. She will use her own organic supplies, or yours if you prefer (in my place she used mine, since I had them). Shows up on time, does a great job, flexible with respect to hours. Solange herself doesn't speak English too well, and as a result her daughter Daisy does the scheduling, but they're a terrific team.

I have moved to a place where the current owner (my new housemate) already has a cleaner she likes, and so Solange will no longer be cleaning my house. She advises she is *definitely* looking for new business.

(ETA: My partners still use Solange, and they, too have been very happy with her).

She speaks Spanish? Machado, as I understand it, could be Portuguese as well. If I should ever follow this recommendation, the distinction is important to me!

No, Portuguese is what I heard, anyway (I didn't ask, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Spanish; Zilah definitely spoke Portuguese (and English, well enough), and Zilah handed the work off to Solange; the two of them seemed to be speaking Portuguese to one another)

Also-thanks to whatever mod added the housecleaning tag, since I meant to but am apparently too lame to remember :-)
