    LaWanda was a very compassionate, neat, attentive and timely caregiver. I hired LaWanda to provide care for my sister who has special needs and some medical complications. My family made the right choice! LaWanda was like a breath of fresh air. My sister immediately connected with her. LaWanda was very patient with her and always treated her with great dignity. She found creative activities she could with my sister to assist with passing the time. She also took the initiative to clean, prepare meals and complete laundry. LaWanda took great care in my sister's hygiene needs including bathing, diapering and oral cleaning. She not only handled it with dignity but made the situation very light and fun. She was also very attentive and organized about administering medication. I cannot say enough about her. I'm forever grateful to Ms. Wanda for the sunshine she brought into my sister's life.
