Lisa Racine didn’t need a job when she asked if there were any openings at a Stillwater, Minnesota, nursing home.
Instead, she was looking for a way to see her dad during the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports.
Racine, who works full-time as a project manager for a printing company, started her part-time custodian job at the Good Samaritan Society - Stillwater in December, according to KARE 11.
On nights and weekends, she mops the floors and scrapes plates in the kitchen, the station reported.
