Hilda G. Care Companion in Pearland, TX 77584

During high school, I had the opportunity to volunteer at an elder care facility, where I spent time once or twice a week engaging with the residents. I played games, had conversations, and formed meaningful connections with them. It was a rewarding experience that allowed me to develop patience, empathy, and communication skills while making a positive impact on their lives.

In addition to my volunteering, I also helped care for my grandmother during a two-year period when she was ill. I assisted her with daily tasks such as personal hygiene, feeding, taking medication, and going on walks to ensure she stayed active. I also spent time with her doing various activities, providing both physical and emotional support during a difficult time.

These experiences have inspired my passion for helping elderly people, and they have shaped my decision to pursue a degree in social work. I believe that my experiences will guide me in this field, as I am deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of others, especially seniors.
