Having used Lauren for my MIL’s care I would not recommend her. She is consistently late and on several occasions has not turned up at all. My MIL felt very anxious in her presence and asked us to find someone else. She is rude when confronted with issues and there where many. She also charged for 2 hours of care but only actually gave 1 hour care. I admit that this was an error in my booking for the month but if she was booked for 1 hour then she should have either questioned it or gave the full 2 hours care.
