• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and no major violations (you’ll drive residents on outings)

• A great communicator and listener, with effective spoken and written language skills
• Understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of aging
• Self-motivating and comfortable with computers (you’ll use our activities software)
