I really enjoyed being a care giver previously to 2 other ladies and my mother. I enjoy the wisdom and conversations they have to offer. I am very friendly and a great listener and conversationalist. I have been to many Parkinson's meetings with one of my ladies but she passed away sadly. It was heart breaking. I do know the many phases of Parkinsons and Dementia, and also am very patient. I am very good at making the person talk lots about their interesting pasts. I raised 3 beautiful wonderful children so patience is second nature to me. My father is still alive and 91 and I have seen very close up what its like to go through the later years of life. I think care giving is very rewarding and under estimated. The elderly deserve to be heard and seen and given the best attention at the end of their journey on this earth.
