    thank you for the welcome.
    Unfortunatly with the lock down my short break care has been put on hold until it is safe to work with the young ones that i care for as they are all either massive sensory seekers or have pysical care needs. got to say im really missing them although i have had a couple of through the window visits.
    As for my new job im just finding my feet. its all about promoting the company as its something i really believe in.everyone has the right to live in tier own home in thier community. not just where there is a vacancy.
