Whilst at Bridge of don academy i realized had a passion for people my first placement at school was at Upper Westfield Primary school where i was a primary school assistant where i worked alongside the teacher and learned the need of pupils. MY second placement was at Persley Care home where i shadowed carers and seen first hand what it was like. Through the end of school i had a part time job in telesales at Weatherseal Windows and Doors bridge of don where i worked as a telecanvasser and experienced what a fast paced work place was like and i loved it, Throughout this time i moved in with my grandparents to help my grandma icontinued to work at weatherseal more on a fulltime basis. At the time my grandma had her own private cleaning company in which i helped throughout the day. 2022 i found myself pregnant at this point Weatherseal windows and doors were now called Space kitchens, where i continued to work throughout my pregnancy. I continued to work here for some time whilst running my grandmas business and in 2004 i fell pregnant agin at which time i gave up my work focused on finding a home for my children. After having my second child i done part time cleaning jobs in the evening and eventually found a job at the byron baker where i worked through the back mostly cleaning. 2010 i moved away from the area and family. 2011 after moving to garthdee i got a part time job so in the ashvale chip shop where i was hired as counter staff i didn't enjoy this job i didn't feel it was challenging and felt i had more to offer.two months into the job i managed to get myself a job running the local shop. This job i was left and trusted to run a newsagent on my own and done this until 2017. Again throughout this i had another two children and loved the hustle and bustle of juggling parenting and working. The business ceased trading in december 2017. I found myself lost and then secured myself a part time job at byron fast foods as a counter assistant. Then the business closed due to covid which left me doing delivery jobs. Through a previous college i then found myself working night for Bodrum kebab house. Here i learned an even more fast paced work place and proved to myself that i worked better under pressure and took on a leader role. Here i took on more of a management role dealt with paperwork accounts stock and staff. I continued to work here until December 2022. I came to realize that working nights wasn't doing my family any good. Throughout the years i always had a dream to be a midwife but recently i regret not having the time with my family while they are still at home. Over the years i have always been a people person and through past experience have realized i can adapt to any environment. I am a friendly eager outgoing person who always goes above and beyond i love to push myself to see my capabilities. i work great alongside other people but also work just aswell on my own.
