I am a very hospitable and caring person by nature. I became most interested in being a care-giver when my own mother needed care because of Alzheimers disease. She lived for 11 yrs with it so I went through every single stage of the disease with her. Although I have office, customer service, retail sales and driving experience, I'm looking to branch out into other careers that are more-suitable for my age (59.) Care-giving is the direction I would like to go! I've been told I have a way of making others feel comfortable (2 of my previous supervisors told me this) and I am very eager to use my skills and naturally calm demeanor to help others. My most proud achievement in life was to raise a son who became a doctor a few years ago!
