I'm a very caring and compassionate person! I stayed home for 15 years to raise my 3 kids and looking to do something while they were at school. I love to talk to people so I thought this might be an Avenue to try! Maybe there's a senior citizen that needs someone to go run errands for them and bring them to appointments.
