Description
I've always been a carer , I'm from Africa ,in my culture ,when a member of the family is not well ,it's the role of other family members to step in and support this individual. So I looked after my uncles ,anties, parents ,siblings ,neighbors who were sick... as this is what we do for someone who isn't feeling well. When I came over to England , I went to college to study health and social care, I was given placements to work in different care settings, it's then, that I realised I was doing care as a job . Then I fell more in love with it and decided to do it professionally.
I am passionate about helping other to make a difference in their lives. I enjoy the job and all that comes with it . It just comes naturally for me.
