Since July of this year, I have been living with my mom in Blairsville, GA because she fell 3 times and now has physical therapy. I was the one sibling out of a job when her situation became known, so I immediately left Illinois, my husband and 2 dogs behind. Since then, I've come to understand her love for Georgia, and her request to not leave this state. My husband has come to understand that I have been called to this place, and my mom is very humbled and grateful. However, we have had an enormous financial burden, with me being unable to accept employment outside the home in order to give mom the care she needs. At this time, I'm thinking outside the box to have an income, and care for our wonderful senior citizens. If there is a way to gain companionship and care for another senior, it will be the way I do for my mom (medication management, meals, laundry, bathing, housekeeping, Doctor appointments, etc.) and earn a wage that will supplement our only income - I would love to be considered for it. I'm a dependable, honest and trustworthy person. My mom has said she'd write a Letter of Recommendation for me. I am perfectly capable of caring for senior.
