Got a new job and I love it!!

1. I started at Interim Home Care a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I am working so far 2 days a week for a great family, who adopted 9 kids. Yep. 9. She rescued them from abusive situations, and they were all drug babies. But they are the sweetest kids, who just want to please so much. The little one I am taking care of was a drug baby, who was predicted not talk or walk at all, and at 2 and a half, he's running all over the place!! :chuckle He's still non verbal but he does try to communicate what he wants and it frustrates him to no end. It ain't the Brady Bunch, but it's a whole lot of fun!!! Hopefully, I'll get more hours there. Oh and the BEST part??? I GET PAID WEEKLY!!!! For the first time ever. Just thought I's share.

   [I]Just wanted to take the opportunity to say hello to a "fellow" employee of Interim Healthcare! I am from Connecticut, and recently obtained a full time position as a Homecare Nurse...we also have a Pediatric Program and it is BOOMING! I love working for this company...it is really AWESOME! Pediatrics take a special person...the kids are lucky to have you! Just wanted to say "HI"...how neat to see someone else working for Interim!

   Warriorwoman, that sounds like a great job! I've always been interested in home care....it would be nice to care for people in their homes and really get a feel for the "person" in them rather than just the "patient." But I'm such a dunce with driving directions that I know I'd get lost all the time! :imbar
   
   Wow, 9 kids! What a blessing she must be to all those children!
