    Barb is the best of the best! We hired her many years ago to care for my disabled brother. She was with us till the end. Barb has become family to us and we are so sad our journey has come to an end. With that said, Barb's strengths include extremely organized, dependable, reliable, trustworthy and an excellent communicator. There is nothing we can report that needs improvement. Any family that is so lucky to work with her will be blown away! I have even trusted my toddler and dogs with her. She is an all around an incredible human that displays endless amounts of compassion. Everything is perfect when Barb is in charge. We wish her well on her next adventure!!
