Omotanwa was kind enough to offer help when I was in need of it. I was covering thread residents in a night and I had to be in 2/3 of the flats at the same time as the residents required support. Omotanwa saw that I was stressed and didn’t know what to do and was quick to offer her help in that time as she was available to do so. Very appreciative.
