From the very beginning, Alexandra was professional and responsive, taking the time to ask questions about Hani's routine and preferences. During her stay, she provided regular updates and adorable photos, which put my mind at ease. Hani clearly felt comfortable with her, as she was playful and relaxed in her presence.
