We hired Diane to help myself as I was laid up with a broken ankle and could not do any walking/weight bearing activities. Diane proved to be exactly what I saw in her other 5 star reviews: very responsible, punctual, helpful. She took the house keeping load off of my Husband, doing all housekeeping and cooking tasks. She made a wonderful roast chicken meal for us, muffins too! She did laundry, cleaned our house, helped me in everything I needed help with (including meals and making sure I was safe and had not fallen). She made fast work of being friends with our cat - who is an older grumpy lady who was purring and happy immediately with Diane! She is very independent and handy as well - we hope to hire her again for house projects in the future! My Husband and I can recommend her for care for the injured, for housekeeping/house cleaning, cooking and pet care without reservation!
