Fundamentals of care
Cooking, reading, strolling, listening to music
While been a home carer, cooking was an enthusiastic that I looked forward to doing. I take pleasure in reading and this aids to my attention to details skills as I am always organised in my thoughts and passion. I walked from home to home when I am not using any other means of transportation especially during summer, I listened to music while walking and it helps me stay health and fit for the job.
Aside work, these are my everyday hobbies.
