need but don't have formal caregiving experience or training, this

you can answer "yes" to any of the following questions, this
position may be a great fit for you:
- Have you ever gotten the mail for a neighbor, friend or loved
one?

out of town?
- Have you driven someone you know to a grocery store and helped
them shop?

needed the exercise or encouragement?
- Have you just sat and talked with someone who was isolated and
lonely? Things you'll love about being a Firefly Caregiver include:
