About patricia

I took care of my Grandfather for many years -he had Parkinson's disease and was confined to a scooter the last 5 years of his life. He also suffered from Alzheimer's so I have extensive history with that. I worked at a doctors office as a medical assistant for seven years. I Performed all the duties of a nurse. My favorite part of the job was getting to know the patients and hearing their stories. I believe older people have a lot of wisdom to share with the younger generations and I'm always eager to listen and absorb their knowledge. I made the decision a year and a half ago to start college again. It's giving me a sense of purpose and given me the confidence that I can achieve anything that I want to. I enjoy playing board games, taking walks, playing cards, going to the beach at sunset and spending time with my dogs. I've always been drawn to older people and I feel like I would make a perfect caregiver. I look forward to getting to know you!!!
