Hi everyone!
My name is Shirley and I am so excited to have a campaign on Beam.
The last few years have been a bit difficult. I have struggled to find work and have had to move around a bit in temporary accommodation. Being partially deaf can make job-hunting difficult at times. But with Beam's support, I am excited to keep trying!
I want to work as a Nursery Assistant because I love children. Working with children makes me really happy. I enjoy playing with them and making them laugh. I enjoy looking after the children who are upset and making sure that they feel included. It is a great way to make a difference.
Outside of work, there are so many things I love! I love talking to people and working with them. I love RnB and Gospel as well as listening to Michael Jackson, Jennifer Rush etc. I also love cooking, it makes me feel happy. I love making sandwiches and jollof rice.
In a few years from now, I want to be working with children. A dream of mine would be to go to the beach as I haven't been in 3 or 4 years because of COVID and also to make sure to treat myself to Burger King or a Nando's 😋.
It makes me happy to know people are there to support me. I am happy and feel grateful. In the future, I want to help somebody too.
