I started out working as an orderly in High school and enjoyed working with senior adults very much. I spent 10 and a half years as a hospital corpsman in the Navy, again working people of all ages. I have worked over the years in adult foster homes and on a personal level working with senior adults in a verity of jobs, lawn care, painting, cleaning and minor repair. I have always enjoyed working with senior adults because they appreciate what you do for them and their is so much that one can learn from these individuals. I had the joy of being able to work and take car of my father for several months before he died of cancer 12 years ago. I would much rather work for an individual than a large company.
