1. Why do businesses, celebrities and private families employ temporary employee(s) through Ellie Smitt & Company?
Companies and families are just plain busy these days. We know this therefore we will schedule interviews, screen, conduct background checks (criminal/sex offender history), employment verifications, professional/personal references, DMV and other certifications for you.

It really is like having your very own human resources department at your disposal.
