Gary has been a blessing with my two kiddos (10f and 11m) my son has special needs and is on the autism spectrum and Gary has been nothing short of fantastic with both my kids. He makes sure they are taken care of and even does the dishes if he sees any left over for me. Don’t hesitate to hire him, you will not regret it!
