I can honestly say I feel like this is the perfect career choice for me. Im more of a people person very talkative but also a good listener. Its a good feeling being there for someone who may not have much time left here. The other girls I worked with literally did everything step by step like my client was a robot. It was horrible. They viewed him only as a paycheck. Our elderly people need to actually live in their life or their just gonna wither away most likely unhappy. I enjoy reading to them or them reading to me, I enjoy keeping their interests peaked throughout the day so they dont want to sleep the day away, I really enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine I like to think. I actually make my time there about them and listen to what they have to say or talk about. I believe in this profession compassion is a must.
