During July 2022 to February 2023, I had a weekend job consisting of cleaning and tidying yards, storing building materials safely and securely and had been involved with light work helping the with the job needs required.

I had babysat family which included my siblings (One brother from the age of nine to eleven and two sisters from the ages of five to seven) for when my mother had to go to work. To make my mother available to work as she is a single parent. I provided the care that they needed during evenings and nights. They were comfortable and trusting of me when I babysat them. I minimized my mother's clean up time, helping with housekeeping, dishwashing, vacuuming and preparing lunches for my siblings. I ensured that the children were put to bed properly after getting ready for bed, ensuring that went to the toilet, brushed their teeth, washed hands, and I would read to my two sisters before bed.

I had also looked after my Uncle's children as he is in the army and his time was limited because of his continuous work hours. His wife also worked long hours too because she was is a care worker. So, I would babysit when they were both working and maintained a clean, safe and wellbeing atmosphere when they were in my care.

From April 2020 to December 2022, I had assisted a family friend who is the ward manager of hematology at Chichester Hospital in household activities which he couldn't perform due to his time being limited because of his work schedule. I would vacuum the floors and hallways, emptied bins regularly and placing recycling and waste into correct establishments to improve sustainability and hygiene. I had also dusted the ceilings and shelves to reduce dust build-up and an untidy appearance.

During 2022, I would go shopping when they couldn't and would ensure that I bought everything that they requested to maintain well-stocked shelves and what they required for their dietary needs and I had also bought requested food for their dog.
