    I hired Kristi once for myself as I needed someone that I felt was compassionate, reliable, attentiveness, punctual along with displaying genuine care to accompany and ensure I arrive safely to a surgery, be available during and again to not only get me home but be a second set of ears when important information is being reviewed at discharge. I believe I got to truly see how reliable and compassionate she is along with many other qualities I would absolutely want one to possess caring for loved ones whether they be children or adults with special needs. From beginning to end she ensured that all needs were met, not just physically but emotionally as well. Her professionalism was matched by a warm and reassuring presence that made a meaningful difference in what could have been a stressful day but would be well suited for day to day childcare. I am grateful that I came across Kristi and honestly can't recommend her enough she is a very special person.
