    Didi was 100 percent reliable and enthusiastic when it came to keeping and transporting my special needs daughter to an autism center last summer. She developed a sweet relationship with my daughter, and it was obvious she truly cared about her. My daughter is not always easy, but Didi went with whatever got thrown at her (sometimes quite literally). She is an honest, kind, smart person, and I would recommend her for employment. Didi is also easy to work with and a good communicator. I consider her an extraordinary worker and person.
