For the first time, I’m getting a helper. She has been here for over two months now. She performed her job well overall, and we are happy with it. We appreciate Powers Employment’s consideration of our needs and desire to provide us with the best assistance possible based on those demands. However, the agency has also done a great job making sure that my helper is adapting well to us.
