“When I am not too busy with my work, I love to meet with friends and walk my dog, Hallie, who Is a Collie cross, although my partner, David, will tell you he is the one that walks her most mornings! Hallie is very precious to us and even has her own Island Home Care profile.
I look forward to meeting with you and to helping you to find the support that works for you.”
