Although I cared for my grandmother, a friend recuperating from a heart attack and another who suffered from Lou Gehrig's Disease, I have no medical training. Having taught young children all my life, I am nurturing and patient. I am 69 years old and my health is excellent and I would like to care for someone who is less fortunate. I share the same interests and hobbies as others my age which I feel would make me a good companion for an elderly person.
