We are fortunate to have a maid at the apartment. She is a delightful woman who works hard. She is there three times a week. She speaks no English but has learned 'Cooper' and between Mimi, Esperanza and the spanish/english dictionary, they get along great. When they hit a language stumbling block, my assistant translates between the two of them.
Esperanza has to be the best ironer in the world. I have the crispest shirts in the country. I like them that way. To prove she is the best - Mimi put a shirt/blouse in the laundry last week. It was one of those shirts where the wrinkles are part of the look, the style - and I know she paid extra for them.
Well, last night on our way out to dinner, Mimi put that shirt on and noticed that Esperanza had ironed out every single single wrinkle. It must have taken her an hour to iron that one shirt. We both had a good chuckle. Taking the wrinkles out of the shirt made it look 2 sizes too big.....Mimi is out shopping for a new one!
We would recommend Esperanza to anyone - but you wont get her - she's a keeper.
