About Cara

1.I love to listen to people and hear their stories - especially the elderly - how it was when they grew up, I love history and it is a treat listening first hand! 2. Having someone smile and appreciate what I do for them to be honest - I like making a difference in their day and making them happy - it makes me feel good. 3.I have raised three sons and have a disabled husband I take care of. 4.I appreciate old things, a clean house, all weather. Family is very important to me and I have God in my life. I love crafts - knitting, crocheting, etc, and feel you can learn something new all the time.

    My first job, at age 10, was summer companion to my maternal grandmother. Working for the family matriarch required abundant labor (my grandmother was elderly), but the daily chores gave rise to an unexpected pleasure; I liked being responsible. For 12 lovely summers, I cleared the acorns from her croquet court, hiked to the store to buy her groceries, and delivered her (she did not drive) by rowboat to tea at the homes of neighbors. Within the formality of her cottage, I learned to be a responsible member of a household. And whether I felt like it or not, I learned to be good company. Still under my grandmother's spell, I have worked as a lady's companion and as a gentleman's secretary for more than 20 years. Although I am no longer gathering acorns, I accompany my employers on their travels, keep them company at cultural events, edit their memoirs, and teach them them how to draw and paint. I have found these employments to be congenial and remunerative. They give me great pleasure.
