    Hi, I have a nursing degree and spent 12 years in the acute care setting including cardiac care. I worked in the electrical field for the last 22 years but once a nurse, always a nurse. I moved to the Ocala area last year with my old draft horse. I need a part time job to cover her expenses here. I live just a few miles from On Top of The World. I have reliable transportation for medical appointments. I can clean, cook, help with shower or bath, empty catheters and ostomy bags. Pet care is also welcome. I can also do small repairs in your home. I'm a very effective advocate for my elderly mothers health care. I enjoy people. I have a holistic view of health. I think positive social contact, fresh air and good nutrition are important for all of us. If you're able to swim I'd be happy to help you get into the pool if cleared by your doctor. I have seen that be very helpful for joint pain and mobility issues. If you'd like to furnish the veggies and fruit I have a Vitamix. A green smoothie every day is a great thing. I think staying in your own home is the best place to be if possible.
