Leah Haines

From a young age I have always had a caring compassionate nature. This nature contributed in helping to care for my Great Nan and my elderly neighbour throughout my teenage years. I used to help them to clean their house, collect shopping and most importantly to have some company so they did not feel isolated. In addition I am currently attending university to become a nurse and have already competed 16 weeks of placement enabling hands on clinical experience in patient care, some of which included monitoring vital signs, assisting with personal hygiene, and supporting patients with eating and drinking. In addition as a junior hairdresser allowed me to build on my communication skills and taught me how to work effectively in a team.
