If you’re a bit lost and looking for direction, or drifting from one mundane job to another like I was, get into care work. You’ve got nothing to lose!
It’s hard to put your finger on the essence that makes this job so special – the residents and their families become like extended families. It’s an honour to be entrusted with their wellbeing and a privilege to hear their life stories. No two days are ever the same. The girls I work with are all like sisters to me and I cannot speak highly enough of each and every one of them. I will never forget the kindness patience and nurturing they showed me when I first started. They literally are angels. If you’re a bit lost and looking for direction, or drifting from one mundane job to another like I was, get into care work. You’ve got nothing to lose!
