1
00:00:01,152 --> 00:00:06,790
I work with adults, young
children, and elderly.
2
00:00:06,969 --> 00:00:10,508
And I'm from Cardiff, originally from Libya.
3
00:00:11,005 --> 00:00:19,002
I come from my country as a student as well so
actually in my CV there's no previous job role,
4
00:00:19,132 --> 00:00:22,678
and I've been chatting to my health visitor
5
00:00:22,678 --> 00:00:25,237
and she said there's a job that doesn't need
6
00:00:25,237 --> 00:00:28,940
experience but it need people
who care about other people.
7
00:00:29,019 --> 00:00:35,958
When I did my first call,
I just knew this job is going to be for me.
8
00:00:36,147 --> 00:00:42,668
Caring is not all your job,
you need to see people not as a task.
9
00:00:43,022 --> 00:00:47,326
You need to see people's
need, what they want,
10
00:00:47,698 --> 00:00:50,348
and you need to treat
them as a human being.
11
00:00:50,477 --> 00:00:56,020
We do everything, we are half nurse,
we are half cleaner, we do medication,
12
00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:59,381
We are like everything in one person.
13
00:00:59,468 --> 00:01:03,091
They become part of my life, my family
14
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:07,682
and I become part of their life
and part of their family.
15
00:01:07,832 --> 00:01:12,698
To go to someone who's in a wheelchair
and he's still enjoying his life,
16
00:01:12,798 --> 00:01:17,122
you open the door and he's still
giving you that smile and that warm welcome
17
00:01:17,122 --> 00:01:20,572
makes you think wow why I am complaining,
18
00:01:20,612 --> 00:01:22,787
ife is so short, I need to enjoy it.
19
00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:26,259
In this job, it doesn't matter
how long you've been doing it,
20
00:01:26,325 --> 00:01:29,928
because every time you're doing it
you discover something new,
21
00:01:29,928 --> 00:01:31,374
you're learning something new.
22
00:01:31,374 --> 00:01:34,650
I give them the care and they
teach me the meaning of life.
