Debra’s Bio

For all of my adult life, I have been a teacher. However, I also have experience caring for the elderly and have found that I truly enjoy their company. My first experience was in college where I worked for an elderly woman who did not drive. My responsibilities were to clean her house and also take her grocery shopping. My senior year of college, I lived with a lady with Alzheimers. I helped her with laundry and housekeeping and was there to look out for her general safety. After that, my husband and I moved in with my 86-year-old grandfather so that he could stay in his own home as long as possible. We were company for him and also helped him with grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, and housekeeping. He also had given up driving, so we would drive him to church with us and wherever else he wanted to go.

All of these experiences have had their difficult times, but for the most part, I have really enjoyed these relationships. The elderly have much wisdom and many experiences to share. They deserve our respect and support during their aged years, and I enjoy being able to fill this need for them.
