Hello, and thanks for your time. I believe my story will intrigue you: On 5. 28. 05, I moved into my newly purchased condo and met my next-door neighbor, Howard; it happened to be his 77th birthday. Upon introduction, he said, "Ahhh, so you're the one who will be taking care of me in my old age." We both laughed, but it turned out to be quite accurate. As the years passed, his health declined and his need for care increased. For 14 years, I provided medical management, transportation, light housekeeping, errand fulfillment, and most importantly, companionship. Howard and I became very close. He had no children, and my father was gone, so we symbolically adopted each other to fill those roles. Sadly, he passed in August of 2019 at the age of 91; I miss him dearly! I'm currently employed with a family in Chester for whom I provide afterschool care Monday-Friday from 3-5pm, so if your needs can be met around that schedule, I would be happy to meet with you.
