Our Friend
"It's always nice when a Friend stops by!"

I grew up in Saskatoon and moved to Calgary in 2001 to find work. I was in an administrative job at the University of Calgary until my first son was born and I decided not to go back to work. I have been a stay- at- home- mom for both of my boys, who are now 7 and 10, ever since. I also provide before and after school care for friend’s children, and volunteer at my children’s school.
In all of my positions, I’ve learned that my favorite role is that of a caregiver. The choir I am in performs at retirement communities and that is how I discovered how much I enjoy meeting seniors. I love spending time with my senior friends from A Friend Indeed. I find it so rewarding knowing that I can brighten their day, or provide some comfort for them. However, I also think the visits are just as beneficial for me. We laugh and share stories and it is so interesting learning about their lives. Jennifer visits seniors residing in Calgary, Alberta. |
