I’m a sitter at a hospital for elderly residents now.

There’s this adorable little lady I got to watch today because she gets a lot of anxiety when she’s alone which makes her get up to find someone and she’s a fall risk so I get to sit with her and keep her company to make sure she doesn’t. She likes to have her hand held and doesn’t want me to leave her side. I got to take her to the dining room tonight for dinner and when she was served she took a big bite of her sandwich. I asked her if it was good and she nodded her head yes at me vigorously with her cheek still full of food and it was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. 🥺 It’s really interesting to see how much we turn back into kids in our old age.

@RubySoo Aw, thanks Ruby! I haven’t been here long. A bit more than a month so far, but I’ve already been told by management I’m an excellent sitter. I’ve been having fun getting to know all the residents too. Some of them are so sweet and just love having someone to talk to. ♥

@Reject my mum in law is in hospital at the moment. Shes been there for 2 months so far, and will be hor a while yet. We go up 3 or 4 times a week. Its an hour each way, and hubs doesnt get home from work till gone 6pm. So its a long way.to go for short visit....but so important for her recovery she gets visitors.
But...if someone like yrself was able to visit with her...she would be over the moon. She loves to tell people about her life...especially things she did when she was young and adores talking.with younger people....especial guys!!
I'm sure she'd much rather a visit from someone like yrself than me!! 😂

@RubySoo I know it’s difficult but thank you for going to see her. I think it means a lot. I’d LOVE to sit with her! She sounds perfect honestly. My favorite residents are the ones who just like to talk to me about their life. I have a few I chat with who also like guys and I’m their favorite. 😄
