I've been a paid carer for my mum for 3 years who at the time was mentally ill and regressed to a child's mind and had to care for her like I would a child. I have also looked after people's children and many different pets over the years just as a favor. I am the kind of person to take joy in the small things in life and make the best out of any situation. Ever since I was at primary school I knew I wanted to care for children, taking a group of reception children under my wing whilst in year 6. I even returned to my primary school to do work experience in a year 1 class, which was exactly how I imagined teaching to be.
