A Raving Reference!

Marilyn (my 'Office Nanny' or personal assistant) takes an idea, runs with it, and then completes the job. She is a wonderful example of follow-through. Marilyn has the ability to tackle the big stuff and also the detailed small stuff, which is often the daunting part of any project. For our music group AUGUST, Marilyn has created and organized postcards, buttons, posters; written Press Releases and organized ongoing Media and Public Relations; kept our Fans notified by creating a Blog of upcoming and ongoing performances; and a merchandizing table all in an extremely professional manner, and on a shoestring budget! Marilyn is creative, caring and extraordinarily committed – a huge asset to any company.

Busy Real Estate Office


Hello!
I'm now at a busy real estate office 2 days a week... With 125 Realtors and a switchboard that looks like an electronic gizmo from outer space; it's fun being a Receptionist in a buzzing office. The rest of the week I'm here an' there at other locations (mostly for film-related companies), but there's always time to enjoy my time off, which usually means sitting at the beach with my laptop emailing the world!
Cheers,
MJM - Your "in-a-pinch" Office Nanny
