I believe I would make a great social carer due to my family background and people I am currently surrounded by in my daily life. I have a big family, as well as a lot of extended family meaning I am always surrounded by people from all walks of life and different ages with different personalities. I have been looking after multiple of my cousins and nieces and nephews from a young age and have also looked after elderly individuals such as my grandmothers and older relatives. I have assisted with cooking, simply relaxing and doing different activities in a day and also household tasks. Not only am I surrounded by many people who I have cared for in the past, I am currently studying Primary Education which I believe this job will assist me immensely with gaining experience in caring for others. ^& ^&I currently live with my grandmother who is 97 years old and have consistently been assisting in caring for her from a young age. As she has gotten older, her health has been impacted and she suffers from memory loss, confusion and difficulty in communicating and completing household tasks. While I am at home, I help her around the house and keep her busy with different activities such as walking around the house and watching TV to keep her mind going. I also just simply sit and talk to her on a day to day basis, as well as make her food and snacks when she needs. My grandmother also has some difficulty in walking around on her own, so I assist her in moving around with either a walking stick or a walker with wheels. ^&
