“Karina took care of my siblings like no one else, as she not only created a safe space for them but also suggested a series of recreational activities that my siblings continue to practice today, such as drawing, painting, and playing soccer. Additionally, she always ensured that my siblings were comfortable, well-fed, and surrounded by lots of love. I highly recommend Karina's caregiving!”
