I'm a retired Nursing Supervisorl. My nursing now is going to a local nursing home doing pet therapy with one of my two Corgis. It's lovely just to enjoy the residents and not have to worry about all their care!

I am a Part-time Caregiver right now. I truely enjoy being able to take care of Senior Citizens. I took care of my Mother about 7 years ago. Seniors are a joy to be with and laugh with. I love to share my stories with them as well as listen to their stories about their life experiences. It's nice to know that we as Caregivers can make a difference in their lives. Smile and the world will smile back at you!
