Anna, senior home help - NE24 Newsham

My name is Anna I am 17 years old. I have previously been a hairdresser so have been in an industry with elderly. I am looking to help with shopping, caring for them, helping with daily routine, even just someone to talk to. No one deserves to be lonely. I loved working in the hairdressers especially with the elderly who told me stories about themselves. With me being so young you can imagine it being an exciting industry to work in. I come from a big family so have a lot of experience with family stuff and peoples needs. My opinion on elderly has always been respectful. I think they were in the world first. They know a lot more than we do. I would hate to think me and/or anyone in my family felt lonely so I feel everyone should be given the chance to have someone around. It breaks my heart to see children/elderly lonely and the effect it has on them. I’d like to be one of those people who changes that. Thank you for reading.
