    Kathleen is an angel among us! I initially hired her to help clean and organize my two-story home, which I share with my three crazy dogs. Kathleen did such a thorough job of uncluttering and cleaning, it made me love my home again! And Kathleen goes beyond the task at hand. She is an organizational whiz who gave me great tips on how to get-and stay-organized. She is also a delight to talk to and exudes a calm, reassuring energy. I most recently hired Kathleen to provide a day of care for my ailing dad. She helped with food prep, including cooking a delicious quiche for his breakfast the following day. Best of all, she provided him with wonderful company. Kathleen is a great listener and a delight to be around. She is truly an angel among us. If you're lucky enough to hire Kathleen, you'll be able to experience some of her magic, too.
