I am 23 years old and currently finishing my honours degree at university studying international business. I would describe myself as caring, talkative, friendly, easy going, driven and organised. I am currently working at tesco part- time which I have done for 2.5 years. Prior to this I worked at Nando’s for 3.5 years. I am looking for additional work outwith retail at the moment and would love to be a companion as it’s something I have looked into in previous years however, did not have the time to do so. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, going to the gym and going walks and hill walking. I have also had 13 years experience with owning cats and dogs.

Being a companion for the elderly has always been something I have been interested in as I know loneliness is something many older people struggle with especially as family members often have other commitments. When I was in high school I volunteered at a care home (mainly in the dementia unit) and really enjoyed making them smile, listening to their life and telling them about mine. I have a drivers license and car therefore, would love to do day trips and walks if possible. I regularly enjoy cooking for my family so would be happy to make home cooked meals and collect groceries. My gran lived in assisted living and I was always visiting her friends and spending time with them and it was something I thoroughly enjoyed and found very rewarding.
