My name is Judith. I'm a young lady who's looking for employment, particularly one that enables me to provide support for those who need it most. I have a strong affection for the elderly, primarily due to my fondness for my late grandfather. I have only had one previous experience working with the elderly, my dear friend John. I helped him with various tasks around his home; including cooking, offering companionship, attending to his personal care, housekeeping tasks such as mowing the lawn, vacuuming, washing dishes, building fences and much more. Working with John made me realize how much I value our senior citizens and their presence. I love being around them for their insightful wisdom and the way they help us to appreciate the importance of life and living in the moment. I hope you will give me the opportunity to serve as a caregiver/companion. I am currently living with a 74-year-old elderly man whom I occasionally help throughout the house. I take care of tasks such as cooking meals, providing companionship, cutting the lawn, and more. I also assisted him with building a fence over the summer, which was an amazing experience. I love working with the elderly because they are kind and deserve a good companion, which I am able to provide. Additionally, I enjoy learning from their wisdom.
