Consent is great and all, but it *would* require telling people about your power, and I worry what people might do to you if word got out. Especially if someone comes into physical contact with you and *then* finds out, even if you didn't use it on them (and anyway they might not *believe* you didn't).
(I mean, if you use it a lot *eventually* people are going to notice you being weirdly youthful, but not right away. I don't know about you, but I figure if I stopped aging right now I'd have 5 - 10 years before it seemed even *slightly* off, and 15 or so before people might start to actively wonder what's going on rather than just casually assuming I had some good luck with genes. That's a lot of time in which to research rare disorders I can pretend to have, how to fake my death and start a new life, and think of yet other possibilities for how to deal with it.)

"Hospice volunteer" is definitely a thing in America, and after spending a few minutes with search engines and machine translators I found that it is also at least somewhat of a thing in Argentina. (A few minutes was not enough to turn up anything in Buenos Aires specifically: the closest I found was Pilar.)
