Code, §§ 366.21, subd. (f), 395.)1 Mother contends the juvenile court erred in finding that the San Joaquin County Human Services Agency (the Agency) provided her and the minors with reasonable services tailored to their needs. We will affirm the orders of the juvenile court. BACKGROUND In November 2018, the Agency filed a petition on behalf of C.P., Jr., (born December 2007), Jo.P. (born December 2009), S.P.

Father became agitated during the interview, vocally denying that his children were abused; mother denied hitting S.P. and stated that S.P.’s swollen eye was due to an insect bite.

The social worker subsequently discovered that law enforcement was dispatched to the family’s home after father allegedly hit mother in the face. Stockton police officers helped mother obtain an emergency protective order against father, but mother admitted to the social worker that she had allowed father back into the home. The social worker
