I now care for senior citizens but not all of them are senior citizens, things can happen to anyone at any age. I have cared for children though as I was growing up so I do have that experience. I also do have my CNA so a lot of caring for seniors and children goes almost hand in hand.

My parents are in their late 80's so I am well versed with the patience and love it takes to let the elderly feel that they still matter and help them to feel they are still somewhat independent. I would love to help you with your parents, I know the burden as I too am in the same situation with my parents.
