Some have also commented on her cheery personality and how her daily visits put a smile on their faces. One relative commented that “Evita is full of life and great with her daughter”.

Evita has excelled our expectations with regards to her support and we are proud of her achievements so far, in the next few months Evita will be enrolled onto a Diploma which will help her achieve a recognised qualification within the industry.
