I am a retired rn and I worked in the hospital setting for 30 years.I enjoy caring for people and I am especially interested in taking care of the elderly and keeping them in their beloved homes as I feel this prolongs life and keeps them happy.For the past year and a half I have been doing just that. I have been assisting senior citizens in their activities of daily living like driving them to appointments, organizing their medications , helping prepare meals,grocery shopping with them or for them helping with housework and personal hygiene and any other tasks they need to be done.

I became a caregiver around 1979, always felt needed wanting to help the elderly people of all kinds. I enjoy being around people when it comes to helping the sick. I will be their for them if needed. You have to be patient understanding caring know their needs and provide lots of TLC. I took care of a elderly for 14 years, she was in a wheel chair when I met her. also a heavy drinker. Within that 14years of my caring for her I was able to help her family and the client to make a decision for the client to under go knee surgery. She was able to walk for 6 years which was joyful time for her. Few more years after that she was able to give up drinking with a little of my help. I was very happy to see this achievement. The family was proud to see this accomplishment and thank me for my assistance. This made me feel so happy and wonderful that I was able to be their for them. I am a understanding and caring person when I can help someone that needs my services I will be their. I also enjoy traveling being around my grandchildren, love my church, I love to keep up with my landscape, enjoy exercising, and focus on my health.
