I did the job part time whilst at uni and it's something I have carried on since graduating. The first few months were terribly difficult but you really do get used to it (as bad as that sounds). Overall you tend to look at the positives rather than the negatives and try to make their lives as happy/pleasant as possible.
If I'm having an awful day I just like to think that someday I may need to be looked after the same so I man up some.

Funny haha, or funny odd?
The elderly can have a great sense of humor and have some brilliant stories. If I work on the upstairs floor, I usually get given sweets throughout my day from a lady who insists I have them. I hoard them and pop them back in her drawer at the end of the day.

The residents absolutely love visitors with animals... dogs in particular. We once had a visit from a zoo that brought a lizard or something... I didn't see, I was doing paperwork :(
