1. I became a caregiver working with Mystic Valley Elder Services some time ago, then after that working for Vinfen with four dual diagnosed men in a residential setting. Since January I worked as a PCA with a 51 year old woman who eventually died June 2015 of Ovarian cancer. I am currently working as a pca with a 15 year old male with non-malignant brain tumors that, as a result, render him mentally and physically as an 8 or 9 year old. My employer conducted both the CORI and SORI reports prior to my being hired and is satisfied with the results of these reports. 2. I like helping and talking to people and the inter-personal relationships. 3. A personal achievement that I am proud of is the creative ability to bring more out of those I serve than they thought they were capable of. 4. I am a healthy 75 year old male who is the men's ministry leader at the church that I attend. I have been in leadership with PromiseKeepers,org and am currently involved with IronSharpensIron.net and IronSharpensIronWomen.org organizations and conferences that help to bring moral and spiritual maturity to men and women.
