I am a 19 year old girl who enjoys being around the elderly. I am constantly making random trips to the nursing homes to play domionos, sing and help the elderly. I love hearing about their stories, learning about there past and they compliment me (which makes me feel special). It warms my heart to know I would be able to make sure they're taking their medication, eating supper, being cleaned and most importantly having someone to talk too so they don't feel alone. I took a CNA class my senior year, so I know how to take vitals, change pull ups, wash, change sheets all the basics. I really hope someone gives me a shot because this is all I want to do, and I am currently a college student looking to be a special education student.
