About Justin

Sometimes people just need companionship at certain points of life, I chose to become a care giver because I understand that age doesn't define worth and most older people have a wealth of knowledge and perspective to share. I enjoy talking with people and my experience in Healthcare over the past 7 years has given me an opportunity to be a companion for people who may not have the opportunity to get out and be as social as they once were. Although my experience is usually in a hospital setting I know that people want to feel appreciated and valued. Sometimes our daily lives may not permit us to spend time with our loved ones the way we'd like but, we still want to be there for them and want them to know they're loved. I have a laid back demeanor, a great deal of patience, and a positive attitude. I am a father, I'm self employed, and just looking to do something worthwhile.
