    You might want to try to get into a children's hospice, I've applied for uni already but I'm going to work with children who are terminally ill, as well as their families.

    Try to get a wide variety of experience, you could even volunteer in a nursing home for the elderly to learn more about caring as a career.

    Hope this helps
