    Having known Corby for 40+ years I can say with confidence that she has the knowledge, working experience, and patience required to handle both children and seniors who need assistance. Her years of rearing her own children, teaching art to hearing impaired children, and later the care of her own terminal mother, have all developed the empathy and intuition that only experience provides. Her hands on time as a nurse's aid has equipped her to handle the medical challenges her clients may require. Her sensitivity to her client's needs and adaptability to whatever the circumstances demand, make her an ideal candidate in this field. She is steadfast in her commitments and I can recommend her without hesitation.
