Iwona worked for my family for 5 years. The only reason she is not with us is that we required more hours and a full time arrangement. Iwona is conscientious, attentive, innovative and pays careful attention to the needs of the person. She adjusts quickly to the persons mood, how they feel, and what they want to do. She takes time to understand the person's needs, moods, likes and dislikes and works toward making that person feel good. Her work included meal prep, shopping cleaning, laundry, transportation and some medical care including attending to wounds and placement of compression socks. My family is grateful to her and for her work ethic. I would definitely recommend her.
