Leaving your business in the hands of someone else is a nerve-wracking but necessary experience if you are an innkeeper needing to step away while keeping your business running. Teresa has filled in for us on multiple occasions, treating our inn and guests with professional warmth and loving care. She made sure to spend time getting to know our business and guest needs ahead of time so she could seamlessly step in without any disruption. With her many years of hospitality experience, we felt confident in Teresa’s ability to handle anything that might come up in our absence. We are very thankful to have her as a resource for our business and would use her services again and again without hesitation.

“Teresa Stilton inn-sat for me at The Ann Street Inn from July 25 to August 2 of 2022. She got rave reviews on her innkeeping skills from all of the guests that we had. Everyone was very happy with the attention she paid to them and of course, they loved her breakfasts and her hospitality. She went way overboard in making very special breakfasts for the guests and showering them with Southern hospitality! She had a lot of turnovers and kept the house spotless. It was perfectly cleaned when we arrived home. I definitely recommend her services and I will surely be using her again!”

“Teresa Stilton is known locally as a dedicated and hard-working employee and has proven this through her work with Holiday House. She is honest, reliable, and always goes the extra mile to get things done. Teresa follows directions well and has an innovative approach to complex problem-solving. Her responsibilities included creating schedules and budgets, organizing tasks, meals, and transportation, in addition to HR work. When it comes to floral design, she has an excellent eye for detail.

I highly recommend Teresa, whether it's working in a restaurant, working at an inn, or working on an event. We have worked together for several years. Teresa has been a pivotal part of the team for larger venues; such as Veritas Vineyard, Williamsburg's Winery, and The Sanderling. I highly recommend her. Her eye for detail, her integrity, and her heart are just a few reasons she makes an excellent choice.

“Teresa Stilton was an employee of The Tranquility Company for 25 years. During that time she performed multiple tasks within our Inn and Restaurant. Including, but not limited to, bartending, hostess, head server, dining room manager, front desk attendant, night auditor, and operations manager. She always went above the call of duty to ensure that she gave the Inn and Restaurant her best, having the ability to adapt and excel in a variety of situations while maintaining a professional attitude and excellent work ethic.

Throughout her employment, Teresa always had the respect of her fellow employees and also the respect of the owners and the general manager. She maintained high standards through constructive input and would implement the plan and get the job done.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Teresa for any position. She is a person of character and integrity and has the distinct ability to bring out the best in her fellow employees.”
