Most of our current clients live in suburbs such as, Centerville, Miamisburg, West Carrollton, Kettering, Beavercreek and Huber Heights. We expect that if you say you are available for work certain days and times, that we can schedule you for work on those days/times. If we find that your availability is always changing or you decline shifts when you previously said you were available, it is very difficult for us to schedule you consistently. Reliability The clients we serve expect us to arrive, on-time, ready to work for every shift scheduled. If you require the help of babysitters or others to free you up for work, your arrangements for babysitters must be in place, along with a back-up.
