Working in care is rarely straightforward. It can be funny, chaotic, tiring and emotional - sometimes all in the same day.Careful Now is a collection of short anecdotes from life as a care worker. Told with honesty and warmth, these stories capture the everyday realities of the job. The book is filled with unexpected laughs and moments of frustration, while also highlighting the weight of responsibility that comes with caring for others. Although some days are stressful and overwhelming, every story carries meaning for the people at its heart.This book centres on the small moments that define care - an inside joke, a difficult conversation, solving problems together, or simply being there when someone needs help. Taken together, they show the profession for what it truly is: demanding, imperfect and profoundly human.This is a book for anyone who has worked in care and can relate; for those who know someone working as a care worker and want an honest glimpse into their life; and for anyone who wants to understand the compassion, resilience and humour essential to the job.
