I just love working with elderly ones. Just taking care of them reminds me of my grandparents who really means so much to me. I have experience working with elderly ones and I'd say I really love working with them.
I can start work Monday Feb. 18, 2019.
Dubuque is age friendly due to community engagement.
I notice this at my church & at community events.
I need to work part time for 7 yrs. I need $10.00 an hr. to start. I don't want to work more than 6 hrs. a day. Has to be Monday through Thurs. Only.
Because it's good to communicate with more older people and learn from them and don't mind helping out if needed
