I'm a 52 year old lady. I cared for my grandmother for 10 years who was deaf,blind had osteoporosis,rheumatoid arthritis and was very fragile but at the same time liked to be independent. I have also looked after young children at the time with learning difficulties ranging from autism and adhd also mentally and physically handicapped. I also help care for my mother who has many mental health problems 1 being that she is bipolar but she also suffers from a degenerative back disorder which causes her so much pain and you can imagine does not help with her mental health. I have also worked as a HCA on a Neurology ward at Queens Hospital Romford which I found very hard work but at the same time very rewarding.
