Loretta is an amazing caregiver. I hired her to help me out after a hip surgery for a few days where I needed help with tasks around the house and helping me getting around while I was limited. It was so reassuring to have her there and she was wonderful with my pets. I appreciated her assistance so much and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
