Julia saved the day, finding us an AMAZING personal assistant in just a few days, after I had such a HORRIBLE experience with Gina Passaro of British American Staffing. Gina went behind my back to inform our insubordinate personal assistant that we were replacing her. You can only imagine home much damage was done.
