What made you choose a career as an Activities Aide?

"I have always enjoyed working closely with people and assisting people. There is much more to being an activities aide than many people realize. When I became involved and saw how much those I care for looked forward to seeing me each day and what it meant to them to have someone to be involved in their lives, I knew I had made the right decision."

"I love working with people. At one time I considered going to nursing school, but I just wasn't sure if that was the right choice for me. I visited some different healthcare facilities and realized how active the Activity Director and the aides who worked with her were in their patient's daily lives. I just felt like this would be a great fit for me."
