Chapter 19

I opened my own domestic staffing agency ten years later.
Lopez Household Services.
Clear contracts.
Fair wages.
Emergency contacts.
Camera policies.
Anti-harassment clauses.
No live-in worker without written housing rights.
No wage deductions without documentation.
No employer could accuse a worker of theft without following a reporting process.
People said I was strict.
Good.
Strict keeps people safe.
One of my first clients was Mr. Harrison.
Not for me.
For training.
He hired through my agency and signed every clause without complaint.
When Emma saw the company logo, she screamed, “Maria is the boss now!”

Yes.
I was.
