I am a cheerful, open-minded 37 year old woman with a passion for spending quality time with the elderly. Working with seniors at the veterans hospital has been my favourite job. In particular, I really enjoy facilitating music trivia, going for walks, doing 1:1 art, and teaming up to complete crossword puzzles! Since becoming a mother, I have really come to value time at home and am trying to create a work/life balance that works for myself and my family. My family only has one vehicle which my husband uses M-F, so I rely on transit! I am currently available every Monday, some Thursdays, and every Friday (see availability). I hope to be a good fit for you and your loved one! I have a background in recreation therapy as well as a degree in the arts. I have spent several years working at a Veterans Hospital, as well as doing private respite and working with adults/seniors who have cognitive impairments. I am very aware of the loneliness and isolation that some seniors can experience as they age. I take a creative, open-minded approach to engaging clients in past interests or trying out new things.
