I love to work with older people I have a passion for them in my heart. I have seen to many of them not have a family and I seen others that have family and they need help just like everyone else. I am working on my CNA as we speak. I have taken care of my grandpa and grandma until they passed on and I enjoyed sharing memories with other people. I am caring and loving and dependable individual and willing to help out whenever I can I will also go that extra mile to take care of my clients to make sure they are well taken care of.

I was raised to help and or wait on my elders. When family visited I served them a drink and or meal/snack. I enjoy talking to people and feel I'd be a great fit. I did in home child care for 25 years and am looking for some adult conversation. Assisting as much as I can to make them feel comfortable staying at home. I raised 2 great children. They are both energetic and making they're own way. I am very proud of them both.
