Valerie is a phenomenal addition to our family and has gone above and beyond by giving her heart to the efforts of working with a special needs child who is absolutely crazy about her. Valerie stays compliant and works hard to think of ways to challenge our daughter Who happens to have down syndrome. Valerie has worked through the support waiver system so if anyone has questions who is also involved with that feel free to contact us. We would be losing a family member if she ever decided to not come anymore and my only wish is that I had a bigger budget and she was there every day. We have a big family and even though she pours into the ones with special needs every child I have is crazy about this lady. I can't say enough good things about this woman who is now such a dear friend.
