Norah - Activities Coordinator
A bit about me
Hi, my name is Norah, and I am one of the Activity Coordinators at Green Acres. I live in Leeds with my Partner Louis. I have Lived in Leeds for 3.5 years and have loved every bit of it.
My mum and sisters live in York and my grandparents live in Mirfield, I visit them all as much as possible and talk to them on the phone every day. I live with my partner Louis; we’ve been together for almost 7 years and have lived together for 3.5 years. He works as a forensic accountant. I am half Cuban and my dad’s side of the family all live in Cuba; I talk to them often and hope to go visit one day as it’s been 7 years since I last visited! Before working at Green Acres, I worked in childcare as a nanny and an SEN teaching assistant, nannying was such a fun experience and I still visit the family when I get the chance.
I have worked at Green Acres since April 2024, and I truly love my job. I enjoy getting to know our residents and planning person-centred activities and outings that are meaningful to them. Seeing a smile on a resident’s face during or after an activity they’ve enjoyed makes my day. One of my favourite activities to lead is reminiscence sessions, as I love listening to and sharing in everyone’s stories.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I love to spend time with my family and friends, I enjoy going to gigs and parties with my friends most weeks. I love going to the cinema and watching new movies or going to new bars and cafes in Leeds. I enjoy going to the gym or swimming a few times a week. I spend a lot of time reading, I currently really enjoy reading Thrillers, my favourite author is Frieda McFadden. I really enjoy listening to music and enjoy most genres, currently I’ve been listening to a lot of indie and rock although my favourite artist is Lola Young. I love animals and have a dog called Thea and a cat called Nelly.🐶🐈
