Best thing
The residents. I love helping them
Worst thing
We have that much extra to do we don't have time for breaks or to sit and spend quality time with residents. Most days we don't get our full breaks. We worry constantly that when we leave the floor the other carers are left in limbo. During covid I have had 2 hours added to my day because of public transport cuts. I live in jarrow. I leave the house at 6-15 am and get home at 9-45 pm. I am exhasted
