Patricia’s Bio
I am an active 70 year old who was retired last Oct due to job consolidations. I have always worked around people. My last position was as a receptionist. I have been a resident motel manager, waitress, 21 dealer, school bus driver, school janitor, drove tractor on a sod farm, CSR for CDS here in Des Moines, Deputy Sheriff/dispatcher trainee, Telemarketer for Fingerhut (not my favorite job!) I also did envelope stuffing, filing and collating for a temp service. I raised 7 sons and now have 12 grandkids and 2 great
grandsons. I do not have any formal companion care experience but it sounded more like your client was seeking someone who would bond with her mother. I have always been good with older people.
I do not smoke, drink or do drugs. I am not on any medications. I wear glasses only for close reading, I love driving and just got my license renewed until 2020. I liked what I read in your ad but felt
that the person needing a companion might be a little hesitant. I would like to meet with her and her daughter before committing to a job to see how we clicked. The hours and days posted pose no problems for me as I live alone.
