I have worked with children in group home settings for many years, managing medications, activities, home maintenance etc. I have not yet had a professional career working with seniors in home but have spent the majority of my life spending time with and caring for elderly in my life. I am looking to make a difference in loved ones lives in a way I would have wanted my family to be cared for and offer peace of mind that clients families are in great hands. I am very patient and empathic which I think is important in senior care. I personally enjoy the activities needed to care for someone in a home setting daily, to include cooking, walks and exercise, pet care, cleaning, running errands and just simple companionship. I enjoy caring for and watching people thrive in my care. That said, I am hoping to find a job doing what I love while making a difference.
