Ruth's Story
I am currently a companion/caregiver at Westminster Towers/Homebridge in Rock Hill, SC.I hold two positions. The first is called a Tower Rounder where I work one on one with various senior. I may give them their medicines, a shower, a little housekeeping, and/or help them get dressed. I spend 15-30 minutes with each one. Sometimes it will include 18 people and as little as 10. The second is I go and take care of a person in their home so that in turn he can remain there. I cook shop, do laundry and take him on outings several days a week. I have been working with seniors for 10...Expand for more
years now.
Prior to my current situation I was a missionary for 10 years. I have lived in New Mexico and Arizona working at a Navajo Mission doing full charge bookkeeping. Then I lived in Quito, Ecuador and worked at an International Christian School as an Accountant. Then prior to coming back to the States, I lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil where I worked as a secretary/bookkeeper.
I have a BS degree in Business Administration from Nyack College, Nyack NY.. However even though I enjoy doing accounting, I enjoy working with people more. Thus that is how I got to working with seniors.
