The Casa Latina workers I've worked with in the past usually arrive by company van on time, and for the most part, do very good work. we are lucky to have these guys!

I'm a member of Casa Latina And they've kept one of old membership ID and by law I don't think no one has the right to keep such as personal information. I'll probably find out what's going on. Probably ask a lawyer or something.

I have used Casa Katina over the years and been pleased with their work. As the fees go up their willingness to work is going down. The last two times I have hired someone, they were not willing to stay beyond the five hours to finish the job. Not Once again today, I am left without a finished project. I was more than willing to pay for the additional hour or two. So now I have to hire someone else to finish the job.
I have hired landscaping companies in the past to clean my flower beds, but they came and worked until the job was finished. I think I will go back to working with them and services like task rabbit. That way I know I can get my project completed after all that is the general purpose. It is to get paid a fair wage for them and get the work done for me. I am very disappointed because I would rather work with a non-profit. The guy that came did a great job but I think I'm done.

Had a great first experience with Casa Latina's Day Worker program. I called to schedule a move out clean and was easily able to book someone for the next day. Maricruz did a GREAT job scrubbing our kitchen, bathroom and floors. I've never seen the fridge that clean! I'd definitely hire from Casa Latina again. Great mission and great service.
