I love speaking to people and making them happy! I used to work as a carer, and I really enjoyed it. I remember my former manager once told me that some of my clients had even repeatedly asked to see me again as they’d enjoyed my company so much and missed me. I was so happy, and it felt amazing to receive such positive feedback!
But a short while ago, I left an abusive relationship with my ex-partner. We weren't happy anymore and he was taking advantage of my caring nature and hard work. I was working over 60 hours a week while he remained unemployed. Yet, he was the one controlling all our finances. Eventually I realised enough was enough and left. It has been really hard, but I am trying to stay positive.
I have four children and they mean the world to me. I don't know how to be a single mother, but I am learning every day. We recently moved house and it used to take me over two and a half hours to do the school run every morning. Luckily, now it’s only ten minutes which is great because that means I can finally get a job in between school hours.
Working as a carer is my dream. I love making people's lives better and I really hope that in a couple of years, when I have turned my life around, I can give back to the people that are helping me right now and help others in their hour of need.
