After completing my degree in primary education I have since decided to dedicate my life towards helping those with additional needs. I have acquired first-hand experience of living with, and caring for an older brother who has autism. Being in this situation my entire life has given me many opportunities to work alongside others who have additional needs, which I have been doing so voluntarily, since the age of 13. It is because of all this constant and current experience, that my skills and confidence in facilitating for others has strengthened. Furthermore, since finishing university I am already caring for another individual with autism, who I regularly take out for social activities, and help promote their social interaction. I also help them in completing jobs at home, to help promote their independent living. My personal experience as both a carer and family member of an autistic brother, enables me to understand any expectations you may have. I am very dedicated to helping anyone. Being given the opportunity to do this gives me huge satisfaction, and the rewarding feeling gained, drives my passion in working with those in need.
