Dianne did a great job looking after my mother as a stand in carer. She had no trouble providing care in a house she didn't know for person she hadn't met before. Stepping in to these unknown situations must be one of the most difficult parts of providing care. We were very pleased with the care Dianne provided and would be happy to use her again.
