I have had my Masters in Social Work for over 10 years and have over 20 years experience in the social services field. Although in the beginning of my career I worked more with children and adolescents, in the last 10 years I have had the opportunity to work with older individuals in their home as well as in nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living settings. I have found that older adults are more relaxed, comfortable and upbeat when they are able to live in their homes and maintain their independence. I have always enjoyed working hands on and have found my experiences with the elderly population both educational and insightful. My jovial, smiling, approach tends to make it easier for folks to develop a comfort level with me. I have also found that my premature gray becomes a conversation starter and more often than not gets folks curious of my age for which I always explain that my gray reflects wisdom beyond my years. My first experience of geriatric caretaking - outside of family -came with an 82 year old neighbor who approached me to walk her dog. In addition to walking her dog daily I was also running light errands and performing light house work for her.
