Sylwia has been known to the family since 2018 and since then she has been caring for my father who has Alzheimers and is mostly bed bound and immobile. She has always acted in a kind and professional manner whilst caring for my father and also when in attendance assisting my mother who is almost 90 with some mobility issues and sight and hearing impairment. Sylwia is trustworthy and has looked after my father for extended periods including overnight stays whilst the family has had to attend various family occasions. Sylwia has become a friend to both my parents and has visited them socially in her own time.
