More than we could have asked for. So attentive and thoughtfull, she's brought such a great energy to our kids and family. We brought Sarah on to help with remote schooling which has been tough for working parent and kids alike, but her calm and intelengent demener has brought a mountain of stability to what was chaos. We can't thank her enough.
