My life as a young carer


My name is Helen.
I am 14.4. My height is 5.5 brown eyes.
I look after my mum most of the time.
I don't have much time for my self when I wake up I do mine and my mum's breakfast then I get in the shower for school. I make my mum a cup of tea or coffee. My taxi picks me up at 8.40. I get home from school at 2.30 then I go shopping for my mum to Somerfields and different shops. I get the bus home with all of the shopping it's hard work when I've got about 12 bags. I get home from shopping I put the stuff away then I do the tidying up then I cook tea then I put washing up in the dishwasher feed the pets give them some water then I watch TV for about 2 hours. Run a bath for my mum get her clean clothes for when she gets out. That is it for one day life isn't easy for some people its not easy for me but I love my mum so I do it. That is it from me.
