4. Roxanna C.
“Roxanna was great with Kallie! Kallie can be shy when it comes to new people/places but she opened up right away once she met Roxanna. My flights coming home to South Bend kept getting delayed and Kallie ended up staying an extra night. Roxanna was extremely understanding about the situation and took care of Kallie as if she was her own. Highly highly recommend ?”
