    Kristin was a wonderful professional. I hired her to help set up and unpack my parents' new home when we moved here last year. She helped with: cleaning, organizing, unpacking, donations, putting together shelving, picking up groceries as well as caring for my mother as needed. She even tolerated my 2 dogs. She was very responsive and kept me informed of everything that was going on as well as letting me know when she would arrive and depart. I would highly recommend her to everyone. She is still working with our family today as needed.
