Hi there, my name is Shawn I am a 38 year old divorced mother of two. I have a passion for helping others and enjoy spending quality time with the elderly. I moved to Florida roughly 6 years ago and was given an opportunity to visit a local nursing home during my visit I was rather shocked to say the least. I understand the employees don't always allow for much one on one time but the amount of elderly I frequently witnessed not receiving any companionship broke my heart. I made it a commitment to spend 2 hours 3 days a week at this facility to interact with anyone that wanted the interaction. We would play games, cut coupons to help keep their hands moving, go for small group walks in the fenced area and have actual conversations. I am looking to build an actual friendship with each client if they want to go to a nice lunch I am willing to take them, a walk in the park, to the mall , just out for a drive I am willing to do it just to know they are enjoying their day means I have done good for someone outside of my home.
