    I've known Leah for a long time. She was a peer helper for my son when they were in high school. Through the years she has been a part of my son's life and a friend to our family. She has been my son's personal support worker for 4 years. She is a wonderful person, dependable, intelligent, kind and caring, mixed with an ability to communicate expectations and boundaries. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their family members, young or old.
