Hannah joined us in 2013. Hannah's care journey started with a work experience placement at a local nursery, when she was 16, which she loved.  She took up the offer of an apprenticeship, and worked with children ranging from 0 to 5 years old for two years, completing her NVQ2 qualification.  

Hannah then took an interest in care for older people, and joined us at Bluebird Care.
