LaQuitha is amazing! At first we cancelled the interview thinking we had a caregiver, but that caregiver never got back to us. At last minute LaQuitha came in for an interview. She is so sweet, unfortunately we didn't feel it was a match. We feel she would make a great caregiver for any loved one....
