I wasn’t the best student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. Just before I left school, I started thinking what I might do and found that there’s not much I could do. I thought I wasn’t that kind of person to have a job.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls for a family. It wasn’t difficult at first. But problems began when I agreed to live in, so that my boss could go out to work in the evenings. I got very tired because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
