“Simone is excellent. Ive known her for approximately 8 years now and trust her completely. Ive watched her grow from an UCLA undergrad where we met to becoming a professional after earning her masters in Geology from San Jose State. Throughout the years of our friendship Simone has proven consistently that she is a hardworking, honest and trustworthy person in all areas of her life. Ive trusted her to care for my kids ranging from 3 years old to now 11 years old. Simone is an excellent cook. She is also fun, playful and adventurous. She taught us how to camp, ride motor bikes, Native American culture, history and always made us feel like part of her family and ours hers. She is knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind. I highly recommend Simone for all your caregiving needs.”
