    I hired Delfina for part-time work, giving my primary caregivers some break in the routine. I am a quadriplegic due to a neuromuscular disorder, have a tracheotomy, and am very particular about my needs because I know what works best for me-even if it is not the standard approach. Delfina is quite smart. Her previous Medical background gives her an insight that can be quite useful. It also gives us points to discuss on fine tuning my care. She is very compassionate. She is interested in learning things that will sharpen diverse skills as a caregiver and as a human being. She works very quickly. Traffic and other things have hindered me from marking her as extremely punctual, but she always lets me know what is going on. We have and will continue to be able to work things out. I would definitely hire her again. I would also highly recommend her to others.
