There are some who should not be home support workers. There are others like Wanda, Arlene, Tracy, & Yvette who should be. Sophie doesn’t fall into that category.
What is it with some women, who try to confuse an older person, by insisting they have been here before, that we didn’t have a dog then. Kind …
