I like working with the elderly people I am a peoples person. I do have transportation. I'm currently working a job, but I was looking to pick up some shifts as a CP.

Retired and family friendly neighborhood.
The neighborhood where I live is one of the nicest in Durham. It is convenient to drugstores, supermarkets and restaurants. There's a really nice walking trail here also. It's near Duke University and UNC Hospitals as well. There are several libraries, and several higher education institutions like the universities and community colleges offer enrichment courses geared toward seniors.
Large homeless population, lack of affordable housing. Many elderly ones who need in home care, as well as better care in nursing facilities.
