Hi, I've taken care of my dad for the last year, he sadly passed in August, he was 86. I need to get back to work now and while scrolling through job listings sent to my email I saw ads for elderly care and realized immediately this is what I'd like to do! My dad needed 24hr care, as he wasn't physically able to get around anymore, he had prostate cancer that spread (he didn't tell me), some memory loss also, along with hearing loss, edema, severe back pain, stomach problems, etc.. I had to do everything for him and he told me one day that I would have been a good nurse. I didn't think twice about it, but I do like to take care of people, help them if I can, and I enjoy the elderly. I'm patient, and love their stories the tenth time as much as I do the first time I hear them! I can help with bathing, dressing, some wound care, medication monitoring, Dr. approved exercise, meals, appts, gardening and more! I have 2 kids, and 2 grandkids, I'm 52. My youngest graduated this year, is working and going to school. I truly enjoy elderly people, keeping their company, chatting with them, etc, as I did my dad...
