Cares For Families: Redwood City Hero

REDWOOD CITY, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Elise Dixon, who nominated Jenna Vella.

Reason for recognition: Tirelessly serves families for 13 years ... she’s beyond reliable, the kids love her, she supportive of all family models and embraces each day with grace and professionalism.

One thing to know: Jenna literally cares about each family she serves.

Thanks for all you do, Jenna!
