2008 until now update
In 2008 I got ill with fibromyalgia so was unable to work for many years. In 2015 I was ready to learn and started studying anatomy and physiology, I was training to be a holistic coach but unfortunately my daughter started to suffer with severe anxiety so I had to focus all my attention on to her, I have been her carer ever since with that and my health I have unfortunately been unable to work.
I am now ready, my daughter is 20 yrs old so I can leave her she also has PA’s of her own.
It’s time for me and I would love a complete change so I think this job would be perfect
I would be perfect for this job as I am caring, outgoing, organised, trustworthy, and my communication skills are good
