I am 51 year old female. I have a 19 year old in college and 2 dogs. My dogs have a dog door so that helps working long hours if needed. I am retired from worker in school system for 20 years as a School Social Worker. I miss the kids but love working with elderly. I have been working as a caregiver off and on for 5 years. Been with people for 1-2 years then some short term. I have a lot of experience with dementia patients. I have been told I am kind. I talk when needed and quit when so. When we go out, like senior center I am social which sometimes helps clients that are shy. I was a caregiver when I was 20 years old and loved it.
