My name is Angela I am 19, 20 soon and I have been taking care of family with health issues for my whole life. I recently stopped being my granddad's carer and I don't want to stop caring. I have a Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care Level 3. I'm very bubbly I love putting a smile on someone's face and I take care very seriously, I make sure I'm responsible with the person's needs and their routines also any medication they take or foods they cannot eat. I enjoy helping people but I also understand that while working in care it can sometimes be challenging, I have the ability to stay patient and understanding. I can adapt and overcome any difficulties.

My prior experience with care work has been with my immediate family I have been the primary carer for my grandad, who has Alzheimer's and Diabetes, for the past four months however I have been helping out with his care for the past eight years.As well as work with an agency that allowed me to be a teaching assistant in different nurseries /primary schools. I love looking after people and working with children. My grandma had Cancer and for the 4 months she was here I helped take care of her, i helped with medications, food, hygiene and making sure my grandma felt loved happy and comfortable during her sickness. My grandad in Spain also suffers from Dementia and whenever he is really sick I fly out with my mum to Spain and we take over for my aunties and stay with him for a few weeks or longer if necessary. My whole life has been about caring for other people and I want to continue that.
