Well I have been working with the elderly for the last 20 8 years and I had a car accident and it stopped me from doing 12-hour shifts but I am able to do anywhere from three to four hour days three days of the week and I I'm a very upsetting person I love life I beat them to my grandchildren family occasions I'm still able to walk I might as well as I used to because I am 65 but I can still clean and make up a bed and I'm a lot of fun to be with

Valleyside is close to everything and several businesses are within a short walking distance. This is an older, mostly affluent very established neighborhood with several affordable price points.
