I'm Toni Adams, I am a mom of 2. I like to keep myself busy and organized. I can multi task, think and act quickly, and do what needs to be done. I was a caregiver to my grandmother when her health started to decline. I helped her do her daily chores, take care of her personal needs, cooked for her, cleaned up around the house and made sure she was taken care of. We also played games and she would talk to me about her youth and I would just listen and offer feedback. I learned that she really just wanted someone to talk to and take time for her. I enjoyed being able to provide for her and be her friend. I noticed that most elderly, want someone who is willing to listen and have company. There is a lot of wisdom you can gain if you take time for them and listen to their words. You leave feeling like you gained experience and they feel accepted.
