My Nonprofit Reviews

Great service! If I had known how easy this was, I would have used the service a long time ago for all my home projects. I have complete peace of mind using this service rather than picking up a dayworker near Home Depot. I needed a person to plant shrubs in my front garden, clean window screens, wash windows, and help with a clean out of my yards so I could go to the dump. I called ahead and Maria was very nice and explained the program to me. I arrived Saturday morning and filled out a short 1-page order form. In a few minutes she introduced me to Roberto Jiminez who was about as old as I am but in much better physical condition. He spoke enough English so we could communicate, and Maria said I could call her and put him on the phone if he wasn't understanding my directions. I didn't need to do that. Roberto worked hard without much supervision and made suggestions or asked questions as needed. I treated him to lunch and took him back to the center at the end of the day. Although $10 an hour pay is the minimum, I decided to pay $12 an hour for a living wage. It was well worth it and I got all my projects done in 8 hours. Contrary to the myth I heard, you do not need to hire the worker for a full 8 hours. Finally, I must tell you that Roberto told me how he likes coming to this dayworker center because of how it is organized, and that you can buy $2 meals at the church as you are waiting for work to come in. I must also tell you this last bit. When we first went to the center, Maria was talking to about 20 young people in Spanish. At first I thought these were the dayworkers but noticed they were all young. Later, Maria explained that they were students learning Spanish and they were coming over to work with the dayworkers one-on-one to help the dayworkers improve their English. Talk about strategic planning. This Dayworker Center gets 5 stars from a very satisfied customer!
