I love caring for others, I've been doing since I was four years old. I started off by helping my grandmother take care of my great grandma. I've taken care of many elderly persons. I love the stories and just interacting with them. I believe that they are lovely to be around and to be able to listen to everything they've been through and what they remember. I took care of my moms fiances grandma and she was 91 with dementia. I love asking her about the war and how it was growing up in England. The stories never got old, just so much more interesting and I loved sitting and having tea and cookies with her while she told me a great part of history.
