Hi, I am Luz! I am a single mother. My daughter and I are living in a very small property. We have very little space with our kitchen and dining room being a single small space, and we have to share a bed. This housing situation is really not ideal for my daughter. She has been really struggling with not having enough space to play and not having her own bed. I tried getting support to move out but for now, there are no options to do so.
As I have spent all my life looking after other people's children, I have loved this work but I am ready for my next challenge. To get where I need to be, I have decided to find a part-time role for now to have time to focus on my education and land a better job in the future.
I am really proud of this decision and for going back to education this year. Through this, I want to be able to work as an accountant in the future. This will allow my daughter and I to live in a nicer place in the future. I want a better job for myself and for her to have that space that she needs to grow in a safe and enjoyable environment.
