    To whom it may concern I have known Debbie for over 8 years. She worked taking care of my brother who was special needs. He loved her... She was always looking out for ways to put a smile on his face. She understood him and accommodate him and his needs . She is a caring , loving , attentive and always looking out for the best interest of those she is caring for. We need people like Debbie to care for those we love. She goes above and beyond. Treats her clients with respect and dignity. I recommend her
