I have difficulty contacting anyone
October 21, 2024

I have posted 4 notices requesting housekeeping help and received only one response which sounded promising. I replied to the message but have not heard back so I don't know what to do now. I would like to hire this person but won't be able to if they don't respond to my message. I will probably keep trying to find help till the end of November and if I'm not able to will just give it up as a lost cause and cancel my membership with Care.
