I worked for IHHS over ten years. I'm looking for a role that fits my experience. 2018 Honda for transportation. Very reliable with a lot of tribal knowledge. I took care of my mom for over 9 years. Took on line classes to enhanced my skill set. I clean, cook, drive and love to engage in conversation with individual.

It's pretty quiet and not a lot of kids so older people like it better. There are not a lot of homeless people that come through here and it is close to the bus system. There are jobs and easy for me to care for someone in this area and is livable.
