Thanks Anne and your idea was a good one. Last year I took care of a 102 year old. She was a riot. I worked for a nursing company part time as I have some experience. This lady comes out to my province to escape the snow and has done so for 20 years. She wanted to come out again this year but is too weak now. She is an amazing lady and I was lucky to get her. She stayed in a hotel and I stopped by every day for one to two hours. Took her out for walks, shopping etc.

This year there are not many shifts and there is no warning so its not easy to plan the week. When you get a client like the one I had last year it's steady. My problem is I get too attached to them and them to me. Not a great scenario as they move you around. She insisted on having me her entire visit, 4 months so it worked our great and the money was steady. It was a blessing to have met her and we had a wonderful connection.
