TESTIMONIALS
"J is a delight to work with. She is a warm, creative person and an excellent teacher. As someone who is pre-med, I was excited to learn about neuromuscular conditions and treatment from her. I also enjoyed J's on-site training: She provides trainees with stellar training videos and her friendly care team did a great job teaching me the movements and routines needed for her care. The pay is generous and higher than the pay I have been offered for similar positions. I also found J's home to be a pleasant, peaceful work environment. Working with J was my first time providing at-home, hands-on patient care, and I highly recommend working with her to others. I am happy to talk to any prospective employees and share more about my positive experience working with J."
