Well I'm a 25+ years Care Specialist. I've been caring for persons that aren't able to continue doing what they once did for themselves such as showering, personal care, meds reminders, accommodating clients to Dr's appt, tidying up in their homes, as well as preparing meals for them. I have a love for caring for the elderly. I have professional references also.
