PENSACOLA VOICES:

“Hi, my name is Haley and I am 30 years old. I live in Pensacola, FL near Perdido Key and I am currently looking for work. Professionally, I am a legal assistant, however times are hard right now and the need for financial stability has become paramount, so I have made a commitment to leave that world behind and move into an era where I must work my fingers to the bone in order to achieve my financial goals. With that being said, I have ample experience cleaning condos, residential cleans, pre & post construction cleans, in addition to customer service skills and waitressing. I am also willing to do yard work and other odd-jobs as well. Anything is greatly appreciated. You can reach out to me directly here, or contact me by phone. 850-316-7329”
