About John

I'm 55 years old, I'm raising an 11 year old daughter myself. 2 years ago my mother was placed in a nursing home by my brother. I took her out of the facility and moved her in with myself and my daughter. Gave her a happy, loving home and a much better life for 2 years. I found it to be much more rewarding than working in a restaurant or behind a desk. I would love to continue to work with older people who want to see palm Beach County is a place life dosent end at 75. It is just beginning. I have found so many things here that are for senor citizens that is free or inexpensive and fun. I love to swim, snorkel, walk and see the many cultural sites in our area. Taking people who have not been to the places or didn't know they were still capable of doing things that they are is a true joy.
